To be honest, I'm not sure that it is the fault of gpg.  To my mind, both 
Thunderbird and KMail should always respect the preference marked as the 
default key for the user in question.  It seems to me that it is more of a job 
for the address book interface, to ask for the default key and whether older 
keys are to be disabled. Or am I misunderstanding again - is that part 
actually handled by gpg?

I'll add to the bug report mentioned above.

Thanks

Anne
