[Kde-pim] distribution lists

Hi upscope,

just for the records. I use distribution lists for sending encrypted emails to 
mailing lists (I have an addressbook entry with the mailing list email address 
and associate all GPG keys with the list in the encryption part of the 
addressbook entry).

You can easily run into problems with that as these lists seem to be stored in 
*three* locations: once in the Vcards, once in akonadi and once in the nepomuk 
database.

To fix the problem that the encryption key configuration in the vcards are not 
used, I had to:

- log out of KDE

- remove .kde/share/apps/nepomuk

- log into KDE

- use akonadiconsole to remove the current addressbook agent

- install a new addressbook agent

- restart akonadi (akonadictl stop, akonadictl start)

- start kmail

Now, the encryption keys were found.


To the akonadi/nepomuk team: is there a way that the vcards are used as 
authoritative source?

Please note that I have written a Perl script that takes the group definitions 
in gpg.conf and copies that into the vcards to allow kmail to send to the 
groups encrypted. However, since there is nepomuk and akonadi, I have problems 
as updates to the vcard files are sometimes not honored by kmail. To fix that, 
I sometimes have to remove and re-add the addressbook akonadi agent. In harder 
cases, I have to do the procedure outlined above.

Note, when I update the vcards, I just change the contents of the files, I do 
not move files around (which would break the inodify watches of akonadi or 
nepomuk).

Thanks
Stephan
