I don't know why Kmail is giving you that particular message.  I
normally used Thunderbird, but I loaded up Kmail yesterday when I
responded to your question.  I got basically the same thing (backend =
/usr/bin/gpgsm).

Answer me this question, do you *have* a cert that has been issued by
Verisign or some other reckognized signing authority?
