(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?
