I'm running into a problem with kmail and forwarding.

It appears that when I forward messages to a mailing list that I'm
also on, I get a bounce back due to a mail forwarding loop.

When I check my Sent folder, it appears that kmail is sometimes
creating a message and adding all of the headers from the message
to be forwarded into the current message, e.g., the Delivered-To:
header.

I believe when postfix sees a Delivered-To: with the same address 
as the current recipient is decides that there is a loop and bounces
it.

Here's a sample of the headers I found for one of the messages in my
Sent folder. The original message was delivered to me at 10:42. 

At 14:43 I forwarded the message to a mailing list I'm on 
(alist@cise.ufl.edu):

Notice that the all the old headers are now present in the new message. 
The Date: field, however, is set properly.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
