Hmmm.  Looks like the code might allow you to add a key to your current 
addressbook even though the public key may exist in a _different_ 
addressbook.  Thus, when you try to retrieve it, IMP will find keys in more 
than 1 addressbook.

I will change the behavior so that IMP will NOT add a key to your 
addressbook if the public key exists in ANY addressbook.  (However, this 
may not be expected behavior - if the other addressbook goes away, the 
public key will likewise disappear even though the user will have believed 
it has been added to his addressbook.  Is this acceptable?)

BTW - My reply was generated by the new code I am tweaking that justifies 
text in reply strings.  This message came out looking pretty nice, I must 
admit.  Still needs a bit more work though.
