[issue258] Misleading error messages if (OpenPGP) backend is disabled
New submission from Ingo Klöcker <kloecker@kde.org>:

If I disable the gpgme/OpenPGP backend while a composer is open I can enable
signing/encryption (which is okay because of kpgp), but trying to send the
message will result in misleading error messages.

When I try to send the message I get a message box "Send &Unsigned" "You have
requested to sign this message, but no valid signing keys have been configured
for this identity. If you choose to continue, no signing will be
performed." (According to the KDE GUI style guide the Continue button SHOULD
have the text "Send Unsigned" which I've just fixed in HEAD.) and,
after continuing, I get the message box "Send &Unencrypted" "You have requested
to encrypt this message, and to encrypt a copy to yourself, but no valid
trusted encryption keys have been configured for this identity." (Here the user
isn't even told that the message will be send unencrypted if he clicks on
Continue. That's actually a small security problem because the user might
unintentionally send a message unencrypted. I've also fixed this in HEAD by
putting the text "Send Unencrypted" on the Continue button.)
