I did reboot the computer, but the lists I added using the addressbook=20
Extension Bar/Distribution list still don't show up as a selectable option=
=20
from kmail/New message window, using the Select button.

Just how can I do that? I open Kmail, start a new message then how exactly =
I=20
select distribution lists? From the Select button next to the To field,=20
right? That is the main thing I have been complaining about. They are not=20
listed there. I fail to see another menu option / button to do that. It may=
=20
be because of my locale, but please let me know which menu or button to use=
=20
other than the Select button I have been referring to.

This I have no problem with. But still the distribution lists only show on =
the=20
allocated pane, not on the contacts list with funny icons including a green=
=20
and blue fellow (this is the way they show on the list that comes up when y=
ou=20
push the Select button next to the To filed in a new message window).

Yes they do, but only the ones I saved previously from kmail (Tools>Save=20
distribution list), not from address book. This is the problem.

I can't, because the lists I saved from kmail are not listed in the address=
=20
book Distribution List Editor. They are only listed when I push the Select=
=20
button next to the To filed in a new message window. The ones I create usin=
g=20
Distribution List Editor, on the other hand, are not listed when I push the=
=20
Select button next to the To filed in a new message window.

I went there (~/.kde/share/apps/kabc) edited the distribution list file by=
=20
kwrite, and saved it and achieved my goal. The only lists those were there=
=20
were the ones I saved from kmail.=C2=A0None of the lists I created using ad=
dress=20
book Distribution List Editor were listed there. I guess my address book do=
es=20
not appropriately save distribution lists to the allocated file for some=20
reason. Any idea why?

Ones again, thanks a lot for the great guidance.
