Most likely the mailing list message has the mailing-list address in the=20 Reply-to header. Now if you told KMail the mailing-list address then=20 KMail sees that the Reply-to header contains the mailing-list address=20 and therefore uses the From address and not the Reply-to address as=20 recipient for the reply. But if KMail doesn't know that the address in=20 the Reply-to header is a mailing-list address then it uses this address=20 as recipient for the reply. That explains the confusing behavior that=20 you've noticed. > > Reply All - Addresses the reply to the sender and all known > > recipients of the replied-to message.

To determine the recipient address for reply to mailing-list KMail does=20 the following (in this order): 1. If a Mail-followup-to header exists then KMail uses the contents of=20 this header as recipients. 2. If a mailing-list is set in the folder properties then this address=20 is used as recipients. 3. If a List-Post header exists then KMail uses the contents of this=20 header as recipients. 4. KMail falls back to normal reply behavior, i. e. it uses the contents=20 of the Reply-to header if it exists, else it uses the contents of the=20 =46rom header. > I suppose what I'm expecting to happen is that KMail would know that > I'm in a mailing list folder (because of the "Folder holds a mailing > list" property) and would then try to use the post address from > folder properties if one exists.

No. You have to use "Reply to Mailing-List" if you want to reply to a=20 mailing-list message. > I would of also thought it would use the folder property's post > address when I choose to compose a new email while inside a folder, > but it doesn't do this either. Should it? Only if you use New Message to Mailing-List. BTW, you can always use New=20 Message to Mailing-List instead of New Message so you might want to=20 replace the New Message toolbar icon with the New Message to=20 Mailing-List icon.
