(Well - the first message probably won't make it to the list anyway,
since I sent from an unsubscribed account)
This is even stranger than I thought. The _Dividend category is NOT
left over from previous use. KMM just created it. These two imported
transactions are the ONLY transactions in this category. When I go to
edit this category, the dialog says "New Account Dialog" but there is
no indication of an open or closed status. If I try to delete the
category, the list of other categories for assigning the transactions
is empty, so I can't delete it.
I can "Accept" the transactions using it, which removes the yellow
background color. However, I cannot (re)open it, I cannot delete it.
I cannot edit the transactions using it. I cannot delete the
transactions using it. Huh? Do I have to remove them by editing the
kmy file?
