Well, I added the icon yesterday at 16:42 CET.

That's most likely because you entered kmail@mail.kde.org as the 
mailing-list post address for you KMail folder. KMail compares this 
address to the one that's in the Reply-To: header (which is 
kmail@kde.org) and since they are different KMail currently doesn't 
recognize kmail@kde.org as mailing-list address and uses this address 
for Reply to Sender. I guess we'll have to remove both, the user 
provided email address and the List-Post address from the Reply-to 
before we consider the value of the Reply-to header for Reply to 
Sender. Especially with the KDE mailing-lists which all have two 
different addresses so that the user might have entered the "wrong" one 
in the folder configuration this seems to be necessary.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Ingo
