a way the settings can be restored back..
means, in my Kmail...
Settings --> Configure Kmail --> Identities --> "Xxxxx" --> Modify

YYYYYY --> My Key
Ahhh. If you had your private key still, that should be
possible. I'd have to look up kmail to see whether it wants the user
to specify a keyid (probably), or if it wants to browse to the secret
keyring (doubt that).
To find out details of your keys, you would do something like:
__> gpg --list-keys Manoj
Keyring: /home/srivasta/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

You can get more details aboutthe keys as well, if you cared;
try gpg --help.
I hope this helps.
