Well, when I booted up today and, just for the Hell of it, hit the New
Message To Mailing List button for a particular mail folder, it
worked. Rather shocked, I looked at the Mail List tab and found the
"mail to" format was filled in for me. Don't know how that happend. I
then noticed that all my mailing folders had the the correctly
formatted Mailing List tab entry. I have no idea why. But it works
now. Perhaps after I check the "Folder holds a mailing list" box, the
next time message came into that folder, KMail updated the info in
the Mail List tab field.
