I created one in kaddressbook (from within kontact), and when I opened kaddressbook as a standalone I could see the list, although it appeared to have lost the last address I added - not sure about this: it might be connected with my next question. Can someone please explain what is meant by "Email address to use in this list:" - does it mean for return address, or something else? The address I chose there (my test list were all to addresses that would come to me) is the one that got dropped. Distribution lists are certainly different from the old models. It used to be that if I put the distlist name into a mail's To: field it would expand, sending the message to all recipients in the list. This broke a few months back (I can't recall the actual version) but I'm pleased to see that it is working again. A method that you may find more satisfactory, as you can check the recipients while you are doing it (they don't show in the previous method) is to select your distlist in kaddressbook. Then, in the right-hand panel you will see a link with the name of the list. Click on that and an email form will open with the list entered.
