kmail and address book

[Alan Chandler <alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk>]

Although I have been using kmail for a long time, I have only recently started 
to look at using the address book.

kaddressbook has been set up with a few entries in it. 

If I go to kmail tools menu and select "address book", I open kaddressbook and 
can select entries from it and use it to send a message.

However, when I compose a message from scratch, I would expect to hit the 
button with the three dots on the right hand side to bring up a dialog box 
that lets me select an address from the address book.  Instead it gives me a 
list of recent addresses but no entries, or indication of how to get to the 
book.

Is this the correct behaviour? If not, how can I change it? (my .kde directory 
is quite old, so it maybe that its got a wrong setting somewhere which the 
current software doesn't allow me to change).
