This started happening after mandrake's servers overloaded from supposedly 
all the email going thru.  You remember when people were getting kicked off 
the list left and right and had to go resubscribe?  Then the forum's servers 
went down and was off line for about a week?  A couple of months before that 
I remember when someone moderating the 'crashtesters' list came back with a 
update on things and said something to the effect of 'now when you hit reply, 
it automatically shows the name of mailing list instead of the original 
posters addy' (implying it was in the coding and something they fixed).  So 
put 2 & 2 together, and come to the conclusion that mandrake did this to cut 
down on all the email going thru their server.  I can understand in a way, 
yet when we buy the boxed sets we are supposed to get support.  And this list 
is it.  And now they are slowly pulling that.  Just about every question I've 
asked or replied to gets answered to in my regular email.  Which is fine for 
me, but think about all the fixes, workarounds, and discussions that are not 
being shared with everyone.
<Psuedo-rant over.>  
Just a paranoid's thoughts.....

ps:  if you right click on a folders name in the left pane of kmail, you can 
chose to modify it.  And it there is a setting for 'mailing-list?' and 
'mailing list addy'.  This feature is being overridden on my mandrake lists, 
yet function as intended for others.  More food for thought......
