The problem is that "new messages" are being sent to the current folder, which 
is only in some cases what the user wants, we have seen quite a few 
embarasing messages on mailinglists due to this.

This issue has been extensively discussed on the kmail development list the 
solution that has been adopted is that now "New Message" always creates an 
empty message and the new menu-item "Post to mailinglist" sends to the 
mailinglist associated with the current folder.

Cheers,
Waldo
