kmail-1.9.10 vs signed messages

Greetings all;

I would like at some point to be able to use some sort of verification, even encryption for some of my emails.

But the msg from Ken Heard displays the start of my problem, in that no matter how I configure kmail on the crypto tab, any message bearing a signature will be displayed at first with a checking signature message, then nominally 1 second later, will either change to a yellow bar say not enough information, or a red bar that says its bad. It has never, ever shown me that its a good signature.

So, how do I proceed to bring this feature into the appropriate RFC compliance and properly functioning?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
