            Bug ID: 340124
           Summary: contact crypto settings are selected not only by email
                    address but also by name
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11.5
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: hauke at laging.de

I have a contact with the crypto setting "always encrypt" which consists of an
email address and a first name. Now I recieved an email from someone who also
has just his first name in the from address. And it is the same name.

I replied to this email. The bug is that KMail applies the crypto settings of a
different person to this email. It encrypts the email with the key of someone
else. If I try to prevent that in the "these keys are going to be used" dialog
then I have to create an address book entry. If I don't do that then the email
is sent encryptedly.

If the second person has its own address book entry then this problem does not
occur.

To make it worse: I just deleted the address book entry for the second address
and replied to the email again (for testing). This time the email was sent
unencryptedly (the key dialog did not appear either).


Reproducible: Sometimes
