Actually, kmail has "smarts" that will use the address from the 'List-Post'= =20 header as the 'To' address and then 'cc' all the other recipients, with the= =20 result that if an e-mail is originally sent to current@FreeBSD.org, when I = do=20 a reply-all, it ends up going "To" freebsd-current@, and cc'ing current@ as= =20 well as the original sender. My request to have a knob to turn=20 this "feature" off has been denied by the kmail developers and I haven't=20 spent the time to devise a local patch yet. Usually I delete the extra=20 e-mail address, but sometimes I miss it. The "solution" the kmail folks think is appropriate is to explicitly config= ure=20 a list of known aliases for each mailing list. =2D-=20 John Baldwin
