You do realise, of course, that you can set a toolbar icon for this?  Setti=
ngs=20
> Configure Toolbars > Main Toolbar <kmail_part> > New Message to List.  Yo=
u=20
can move it around on the toolbar, too, to suit yourself.

OTOH, I never use it.  Why?  Because under the main menu item 'Folder' ther=
e=20
is, as you remark, 'Mailing List Management'.  All messages in the kde-pim=
=20
folder are automatically replied to list, with manual change available if=20
required.

IMO it would be best if the main menu items were those that set defaults, s=
uch=20
as the HTML setting, with right-click choices for individual folders.  That=
=20
would seem a more logical grouping, to me.
