encrypt for non-trusted key: nothing happens (instead of warning)

Bug Description

When encrypting with a non-trusted key as target, Kgpg simply does *nothing*.
This is a very confusing behavior, since the user doesn't get any feedback about "why" Kgpg refused to do it.

It would be great to have some kind of info-message, like:
"Encryption to untrusted keys currently deactivated (Kgpg configuration)."

---
It took me 30 minutes to figure out what happened, and mainly because I was reminded of the "don't allow untrusted keys" feature by Thunderbird graying them out.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
