Eureka! I just upgraded to SuSE and the solution was in one of
the "KMail Tips" that appear when you first launch it.
1. Set up a filter so all of your Eug-lug (or whatever other
list) mail goes into its own folder.
2. Go into that folder's properties, and down towards the bottom
of the property sheet is a listbox where you can choose your
default identity when responding to posts in that folder.
3. FWIW I also checked the "Folder holds a mailing list" box.
Dunno whether or not that checkbox makes any difference for the
problem at hand.
