Actually it could get a lot easier. This means that I have to think about which key
I want to hit when I reply, something I should not have to do. IMO the intelligent
option I offered would be MUCH easier.

However, you already explained why that did not work in the past because people
did not check who messages were being sent to.

Perhaps, this could be a feature you can turn on? "Intelligent Reply"? Off by default \
even?

Yes, except now this breaks BKO replys, sending them to the development list instead \
of 12345@bugs.kde.org. Before, the old behaviour handled this fine; it replied to the \
bug number to BKO emails, but to the list ID to development list emails.

I don't know. The old logic always just seemed to "just work" for me. I never had \
problems with it.  Now this new logic causes nothing but problems for me, and I see \
lots of other people complaining about the same thing. All I know is that this change \
has made KMail infinitely less useable for me, and others I have talked with as well. \
We have pretty much given up on reading lists with it, and starting to use KNode \
again.
