PS: And the only reason it's supported at all in KMail is that the companies
working on KMail encryption were contracted by the German BSI and the BSI
apparently requested that option to be present for their internal use.
If the presence of the useless option really annoys or confuses users, we
could of course patch it out, but I don't think it's worth doing that.
