OK - I'm sure that feature is there for a reason, and I have glanced at some of the post traffic on the controversy, I just hadn't encountered it. In any event, it doesn't change the fact that when I sent a post back to this list using the feature, it worked normally for me, and the sent message was not placed in my inbox as the OP is reporting is happening to him. So, I still think there is a configuration problem here, and not a general problem with kmail...but, I base that on a very small data set of one, so I could be missing something else. On what you said: 'evil' is one of those words that gets bandied about on these lists all the time - it strikes as strong and infantile; my first thought on this is that if I were to set up a list in which the casual use of that list by non-attentive users would result in their replies to posts regularly going back to the original posters, instead of the list, I would be seeing a lot of complaining - if I joined such a list, and started getting personal replies to my list posts, I would be annoyed - it would be annoying, a nuisance, a small pain in the neck, but evil??? But, I digress... I hate Evolution and its evil promoters deserve anything they get ;-) -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD
