You do realise, of course, that you can set a toolbar icon for this?  Settings

can move it around on the toolbar, too, to suit yourself.

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

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