Kmail not importing gpg signatures correctly

[Brian McKee]

Hi All

	I'm a Mandrake user who's toying with the idea of switching to Ubuntu.
Please hold off on the old fruits and veggies :-)

	I'm using an up to date version of Dapper-Kubuntu and Kmail.
If I manually import a gpg key (via seahorse or cmdline) then Kmail handles 
gpg signatures fine.  But if I look at an email that I don't have the public 
key imported for, I just get 

> Message was signed on blah blah with unknown key blah blah.
> The validity of the signature cannot be verified.
> Status: No public key to verify the signature

	The public key is available from the keyserver though.  How do I get Kmail to 
import it automatically?  The 'automatically import keys' check box under 
Settings->Kmail->Security at the bottom is checked.

	 GnuPG log viewer under 'Tools' doesn't work either.   I had thought it was 
a 'work in progress' since I was running Dapper, but now we are at the late 
stages and it's still not working I figure it must be me :-)

	In what might be a related issue, it seems I need 'seahorse-agent' to cache 
my gpg key, but I can't figure out how to get it to start on every log in.

Any suggestions appreciated

Brian
