 Indeed!  Why when I just hit Reply to a message, I end up posting it in the 
 gentoo-user mailing list?!  This has happened a couple of times so far.  The 
 strange thing is that on some of these cases the messages were not even sent 
 to my gmail.com account.  A common theme may have something to do with me 
 selecting the Send Later feature which is useful when I am composing the 
 reply offline.  Ahh, the mysteries of Kmail . . .  :)
 
 Has anyone else noticed this behaviour with their messages?

It's default. Look at the headers of the mailmessages you get from
the mailing-list. It says: Reply-To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org
which means: if you hit the reply-button, it will be sent to the
mailing list.

Don't know about the rest, but the send later feature has hit me in the 
past, too. What can happen is that a message you suspend with send 
later actually gets sent automatically after a few, if, 
in settings-configure kmail-accounts-sending-send messages in 
outbox folder, you have on manual mail checks or on all mail 
checks.
(Remember that send later puts the message in the outbox folder, not in 
the drafts folder).

So, to avoid surprises, either use save in drafts folder instead 
of send later, or use never automatically for the above setting.

Of course, but this is only default for messages received from the list.  Not 
messages received directly from individuals who have nothing to do with this 
ML.

Thanks, I have set all my accounts to Confirm before send and Never 
automatically.  It seems that the second message in the queue in the Outbox 
follows the first, quite literally, to the same Send To: address and 
through the same smtp server.  It seems to me that I need to test this a bit 
more . . . 

Meanwhile, I think I'll stick with 'Save in Drafts' for now.
