There are pros and cons for both approaches:
=2D If the list is expanded immediately then the users can remove selected=
=20
recipients (e.g. when discussing a birthday present for one of the=20
members of the list :-) )
=2D OTOH, if the list is expanded immediately then changes in the list are=
=20
not applied to drafts or currently composed messages.

A suit-all solution would be adding the possibility to the composer to=20
expand a list on demand, e.g. via an entry in the context menu.=20
Alternatively, a "hidden" configuration option could be added in KDE=20
3.5 which defaults to "deferred expansion". I personally like the first=20
solution better, but for KDE 3.5 the second solution would also be=20
acceptable.
