Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kdepim package and not the kdepim package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

KDE kmail before 5.5.2 and messagelib before 5.5.2, as distributed in KDE Applications before 17.04.2, do not ensure that a plugin's sign/encrypt action occurs during use of the Send Later feature, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.
