Yes, indeed.

I don't know of a way from within KMM to do this.  It is possible to
multi-select payees, which gives the impression that it might work, but it
doesn't. I'm afraid.

The way I would attempt to tackle this is with search and replace in an editor
that can handle XML format, such as Kate or Kwrite.

First, and of utmost importance, TAKE a BACKUP!  Then save your file in XML
format.  Open it in your editor, and search for <PAYEE matchingenabled="0", and
replace with <PAYEE matchingenabled="1".  Just try it with one or two payees
then save that file and load into KMM, which recognises XML format.  If those
payees look right, proceed to do them all.  Once KMM look correct save again,
but in .kmy format.  I've just tested the procedure and it works, but do take
care.
