           Summary: attaching a vcard does not remove (potentially
                    sensitive) categories
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kretz at kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

How to reproduce:

- Start a new mail
- drag a contact from KAddressbook and drop it on the composer
- send
- receiver imports the vcard into his address book

Result:
The categories that were used for the contact by the sender are all stored in
the vcard and merged into the receivers address book.

Expected Result:
KMail/KAddressbook removes the categories when attaching the vcard. Possibly
the drop could open a menu (like when dropping files, asking for
move/copy/link) asking what should be removed/attached.

Rationale:
While I might be "Family" for my wife, I'm not "Family" for my coworker. Even
worse, there are good uses for category names that might be sensitive
information. This should never be shared so easily.
Also KMail does not show the category names are stored in the vcard when
looking at it!
