It seems that some things have changed, such that I can't get it to crash any
more. However, it still keeps prompting me to add the address to the address
book once more, even though it is already there.

I'm a little unsure as to what the "Encryption Key Approval" dialog window,
which appears when I click send on an encrypted message, is for. I'm also
unsure what I should select under the "encryption preference" option. By
choosing anything but <none>, KMail subsequently shows me another dialog window
entitled "Name selection", asking me what name the contact should have in my
address book. I'm rather confused about this, since the contact is already in
my address book - that's how it knew what key to use in the previous dialog,
right?

What should I enter in this second box? If I type something in, then it gets
added as a duplicate entry in my address book. Pressing cancel sends the
message without adding the entry.

So in summary, (and I think this is a bug, since it's either broken or too
confusing) the questions are:

1. What is the "encryption preference" drop-down box for, and
2. Why does KMail prompt me to add the entry to my address book every time I
send an encrypted message to a contact already in my address book?

Hope this makes sense :-)
