kmail 1.8.3 (shipped with KDE 3.4.3) does not ask for a passphrase when decrypting emails encrypted with inline OpenPGP, if gpg-agent is not running. Thus kmail cannot decrypt inline OpenPGP encrypted emails without gpg-agent running. 
I consider this a bug because kmail does ask for a passphrase when 
signing emails with inline OpenPGP, even if gpg-agent is not running. 

Btw. no changes to gpg.conf or gpg-agent.conf are required to make decryption in kmail work, contrary to the instructions at http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html. I did not test decryption of emails encrypted with S/MIME (gpgsm).
