Kmail / gpg

When people sign messages with gpg (or presumably with PGP) KMail tries to
verify their sigs, can't find their public keys in my keyring (because I have
no one's key) and reports, in a yellow frame around the text:
The validity of the signature cannot be verified.
Problem: OpenPGP plug-in was not specified.
This is not actually correct, is it? The "problem" isn't that the OpenPGP
plug-in isn't specified; the problem is that I don't have the key in my
keyring. When I receive a message signed by someone with a public key in my
keyring (like myself, for example) the message *is* verified properly -- and
I *still* don't have any OpenPGP plug-in specified.
So the error report is actually inaccurate and misleading, no? Thoughts?
Should I report this as a typo/bug to the KMail people? Or am I missing
something?
Sorry, off topic, but...
