[gentoo-user] Kmail Reply to errors

Hi All,

First I'd like to apologise for some stray messages that I have inadvertently 
sent to this ML.  This appears to be caused by Kmail automatically inserting 
the gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org address in the Reply To field, on messages 
that have nothing to do with this list.  I am not sure what Kmail reads to 
deduce the Reply To address, but it seems that it's not parsing the correct 
header field.

The headers and body below are from a message sent to me from a different 
mailing list.  When I hit Reply (R) Kmail always inserts the gentoo-user ML 
address instead of the correct one.  Is this a bug I should report? Can you 
explain to me why it happens, or how I could fix it? (If Kmail has been 
corrupted, what should I remerge?)

Hi Mick,

If you're using a Remote Desktop client then the VNC server isn't involved
in the connection at all, and so your settings for it won't have any effect
whatsoever...

What I did was create folders for each mail list and tell Kmail the folder contains a mail list.  When you do that you have an option to put the reply to address for the list in the setup.  After that I filter the mail list messages to the right folder and when I hit reply I get the right address.

For the last step, type 'l' to reply to a list, then kmail gets even 
smarter and always picks the list address for the headers, regardless 
of how the list admin has munged Reply-To:

Thank you for your suggestions.  I would like to retain my messages in folders 
relative to the mail accounts, so I haven't tried segregating them according 
to different mailing-lists.

Nevertheless, I tried pressing 'l' on a non-gentoo ML and it didn't work.  :(

Could it be that my Kmail is borked and I need to remerge it?

For what it's worth, it works here.

To just reply to the sender (the From: field), press Shift+A.

Better upgrade to a newer version.
