That should be pretty straight forward.

- Select "Send Message".
- KMail will tell you "There are conflicting encryption preferences for 
these recipients. Encrypt this message?". Select Encrypt.
- The Encryption Key Selection dialog will pop up. Select the desired 
keys of a, b and c, check "Remember choice" and select OK.
- A dialog asking for the name of the contact for "[email protected]" 
will pop up.
- The Encryption Key Approval dialog will pop up. Optionally change the 
Encryption preference for "[email protected]", e.g. choose "Ask whenever 
encryption is possible".
- After approving the encryption keys the message will be sent.

Somewhere in between you will probably be asked for your passphrase for 
signing the message.

The next time you send a message to [email protected] KMail will know 
which keys to use.

I haven't tried it, but you should also be able to do the above from the 
address book, i.e. you create a new contact for [email protected] and 
edit the signing/encryption options of the contact.

Regards,
Ingo
