Ah, I think I understand. The error I reported does not impact 
functionality, it's basically cosmetic.

The reason I am unable to encrypt must then lay elsewhere. It's odd, I 
can see my key in KMail but not assign KMail to use it.
Identities > Cryptography > S/MIME signing [and] encryption certificate 
only show, "No key"

Could you point me to a good up-to-date guide on configuring Kleopatra 
and KMail? Those I have found are outdated, and search engines point me 
to GMail guides rather than KMail - wonderfully frustrating.

Best wishes and thanks,
Tom
