Hmm, maybe I don't understand the above sentence correctly [it's really=20
convoluted ;-)]. But I think you got it wrong. Therefore I'd like to=20
clarify this.
Up to KDE 3.0 (which is the current stable version of KDE) KMail only=20
supports clearsigning and inline encryption. This support is native.
The upcoming version of KMail (in KDE 3.1) will also support PGP/MIME=20
through a plugin.

So more precisely the entry for KMail should look like this:

MUA             PGP/MIME  ASCII    How? (N,P,T)
=2D--------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
KMail (<=3D1.4.x)    N        Y       N
KMail (1.5.x)     Y(P)     Y(N)    N/P

Ingo
