Well, I don't know if you meant to reboot the computer, but I shut down 
kontact, ended the kde session and restarted a new kde session which didn't 
help. I can see the distribution lists in the allocated pane in address book. 
There is even a drop down list to select the particular distribution list you 
have created before, but
1. There is no button in address book to create a new message to that list. 
You can create new messages to individual contacts but not individual lists. 
And the distribution lists only show on the allocated pane, not on the 
contacts list. You've got to select it from the new message window.
2.I can NOT see the distribution lists that I created in kaddress book when I 
use the Select button in the new message window. I make sure "All" is 
selected in the "Address Book" labelled drop-down list at the top of that 
window. I CAN only see the lists that I saved previously from the new message 
window using Tools > Save Distribution List, but I can not delete, rename or 
change them.

For Sinclair, I use Mandriva 2008 powerpack. You may be right, there might be 
something wrong with my settings, I guess this is what I am trying to figure 
out. I read all the text files in my .kde directory related to kmail and 
kaddressbook 
(~/.kde/share/config/kaddressbook_addrconfig, .../kaddressbookrc, .../kmail.eventsrc 
and .../kmailrc). Icouldn't find anything to correct there.

I wonder which database is queried when you push the select button from the 
new message window. It has to be somehow different than the database 
kaddressbook reads/writes, at least in my situation.

I guess I can reboot the computer too, but I didn't do it before I wrote this 
e-mail.

Thanks.

Hakan
