i was wondering if when you attach a file and encrypt the message to the sender if the attachment gets encryted as well, or if you must encrypt the file before attaching it

Unless you are using the plugins from the Ägypten project http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ (which must be built separately - emerge cryptplug), no. From the kmail help:

KMail Help wrote:

KMail cannot encrypt and sign attachments if you are using the built-in OpenPGP support. For encrypted and signed attachments you need to have crypto plugins installed and configured.
