           Summary: reply seems to ignore Reply-To: adress
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.5.94
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: tr@erdfunkstelle.de


Version:           1.5.94 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.23

I tried to subscribe to a mailing list and got a "please confirm" message which i was asked to simply reply to.
So i did, pressed the reply button and noticed that my reply would get send to the wrong address.
I had a closer look at the original message but still have no idea why kmail behaves like this. After reading some similar bug reports about replying i decided that this one is different from the others.

So this happened:

1. i requested subscription to licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net via their web interface at SF
2. received their "please confirm" email, sender of this mail was "licq-devel-request@lists.sourceforge.net"
3. pressed "R" for a reply
4. the recipient of my reply was chosen to be "licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net" (which is the real mailinglist-address and not the one to send my confirmation to)
5. then i tried "Shift-A" to reply to author and it chose the correct recipient address

What i wonder is, why did kmail choose to send to the mailinglist and not to the Reply-To: address?
"licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net" is mentioned only at two places in the original email headers:
- X-BeenThere: licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
- List-Post: <mailto:licq-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>

I attach the original message to this report.
Of course my kmail is as recent as possible (1h old).

Thomas
