Hi Teemu,
thank you for the fast and good informations. I learned, that my
key is not capable to encrypt, but to sign mails.
This was a long time good enough for me, as no one wanted encrypted mails from
me.
I also learned, that I made a mistake in 2007, when I created the keys, that I

Hi Nicolas,
ok, thank you for the response. Important to know, that the behaviour of kmail
is correct. I will inform me now, what to do.
Thank you very much for the help. Your response was a great help, now I am no

Happy days and a good 2019!
