Bug#340893: send mail from kmail works, from kontact crashes

[Diwaker Gupta <diwaker@cs.ucsd.edu>]

Package: kontact
Version: 4:3.4.2-2
Severity: important

Strange bug: when I fire up kontact and try sending an email, kontact
crashes immediately. If I do the same thing from kmail by itself, it
works fine. Its weird because IIUC kontact simply uses the kmail part
embedded in its own gui -- so all the mail sending/receiving
functionality should be handled by kmail right?
