"Go down the to security section and move the OpenGPG tab and tell kmail
that you are using gpg. You will then be able to choose your key."

Hi David,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I have already done this and still get a greyed out box.

Here is the output from my current .gnupg folder

-rw-rw-r--    1 mark     mark         1367 Dec 29 21:28 MarkPreston.asc
-rw-r--r--    1 mark     mark          326 Dec 29 21:27 
MarkPrestonRevokeKey.asc
-rw-rw-r--    1 mark     mark         1942 Dec 29 21:28

-rw-r--r--    1 mark     mark         1899 Dec 29 21:28 Mike Bostock.asc

-rw-rw-r--    1 mark     mark          600 Dec 29 21:23 random_seed

-rw-rw-r--    1 mark     mark          107 Dec 29 21:23 secring.gpg
-rw-rw-r--    1 mark     mark         1280 Mar 16 10:00 trustdb.gpg

According to the output from gpg --edit-key "Mark Preston"
I have some unsafe permissions
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/home/mark/.gnupg/options"
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/home/mark/.gnupg/random_seed"
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/home/mark/.gnupg/secring.gpg"
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/home/mark/.gnupg/pubring.gpg"
gpg: Warning: unsafe permissions on file "/home/mark/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg"

pub 1024D/356223C7 created 2002-04-27 expires: never trust u/u
pub 1024g/8B3CB5CD created 2002-04-27 expires: never
but these shouldn't affect Kmail and GnuPG.
(I left the home directory in place when I upgraded, and I feel this may 
have something to do with why it's not working)
Regards,
Mark
