Lou, I've used distribution lists, although infrequently, with every versio=
n=20
of KMail, for years.  Ingo is definitely the expert, so his advice override=
s=20
anything that the rest of us say :-)

As far as I can recall it was round about the time of that version that=20
distribution lists were changed from being a separate distlists file in the=
=20
kabc directory to being entries in the addressbook.

I also recall that there was one version about that time in which I had som=
e=20
distribution lists  problems.  In that case I could not get them to display=
=20
properly, and entering the name of the list in the message To: field didn't=
=20
work either.  What *did* work, was to find the distribution list in the=20
Contacts page.  In the right-hand panel I clicked on the list name, and it=
=20
entered all the members from that list into an email skeleton.

It's worth a try.  If you happen to have the version where I had that probl=
em,=20
this might give you an acceptable work-around until you get the next versio=
n,=20
where it was fixed.

I really don't know.  I wouldn't take advice from anyone but Ingo on  that.=

:-)
