But kmail can use GPG without any problems. Am I missing something?

There is one problem: you cannot use the group encryption mechanism. In gpg.conf, you can define groups of keys. Now, when you have a mailing list with the same name, you ought to simply encrypt emails which you send to the mailing list address. Kmail now refuses to encrypt the email as there is no *single* key with the mailing list email address. Kmail does not honor the gpg groups.

KMail does not honor gpg groups, because the Author of GnuPG believes this should be solved on the MUA side. It is a too less known funcationality that you can select several keys in KMail. I am using Kontact and create a contact with my mailinglist as email address and then add all the encryption keys in there. This basically is the "group" feature, but it is implemented in a higher layer just has Werner Koch recommends.

I have helped someone testing the (then new) GPG support in Thunderbird using KMail - it has had excellent KGPG support for years... So unless you are talking about KDE 4 (but KDE PIM hasn't released for 4.0 yet) I wouldn't know what you want.
