Subject: Fix for Kmail / GnuPG support / French environment

Hi there,

Here's the definitive and easiest fix I found for enabling a correct GnuPG 
support for Kmail on a "french" KDE system where "GnuPG speaks french" which 
Kmail doesn't seem to like so much:

- - rename /usr/bin/kmail to kmail.original
- - Install in /usr/bin the following (and attached) shell script, calling it 
"kmail" and making sure it is owned by "root" and has 755 permissions 
(rwxr-xr-x):

#!/bin/bash
LANGUAGE=en
export LANGUAGE
kmail.original $*

Now, Kmail correctly supports GnuPG no matter the system usually "speaks 
french" ;-)

The Kmail interface itself remains correctly in french.

I guess it should work for other languages as well.

This fix is system-wide and thus one doesn"t need to change any menu entries 
or shortcuts.

Hope this helps.

Having a KDE mail tool with working crypto-support is so great :-))))

Some further suggestions:

- - Kmail should alphabetically sort the "Recipient selection key" dialog box;
- - Kmail should use a different font/size/color (or icons ?) to emphasize the 
fact that a message was encrypted/signed and to state that the sig is 
good/bad; the encrypted/signed message boundaries should be made more obvious.

Best regards.
