It could, if it had been designed to behave as a list manager,
but it hasn't. It is Kmail which asks addresses to
KAddressBook, not KAddressBook which tells KMail what to do.
But I don't imagine it would be very difficult
to add that facility to KMail.
As you say, KMail asks KAddressBook for an address or addresses.
Surely it would be almost trivial if several addresses are
given, as by a distribution list,
to ask if they should be sent separately or in one email.
Maybe it's not that difficult. But, as you may obtain the same
effect just by putting the list name in the Blind Carbon Copy
(BCC) line (as opposed to the To line), even the small effort
required could not be worth the pain.
Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly.
I want to avoid a very long To: line
so I don't have to scroll past dozens of members' addresses
to read the message.
Perhaps Giuliano was not clearly: If you add all the recipients to the
BCC field (via distribution list or directly) no one will see them
(that is the reason it is call blind carbon copy) and therefore the to
line may even be empty (but it is good practice to add at least one
mail address).
A good idea to put your e-mail in the To: as some spam filters don't
like a message with a blank To:
Try it out.
