They do on my system as well (F8 KMail-1.9.6 (enterprise 
0.20071012.724442) (Using KDE-3.5.8-7.fc8 Fedora).

I have not had a problem with getting Distribution Lists to work. They 
work just fine when created. My *problem*, if you like, is that Kmail on 
my system has some annoying features, but they can be easily worked 
around, such as buttons that don't work, drop down lists that don't drop 
down, menu items on a drop down list that don't work etc. Usability 
issues really.

I don't worry too much about such things when I can easily work around 
them but as Hakan seemed to be on his own I just thought he should be 
supported as he obviously wasn't imagining his problems.
