This whole area is raises remarkable flames. For reasons that bored me
senseless, it is 'politcally correcter' to reply to the person posting to a
list rather than replying to the list. I could throw up a quoted RFC for you,
but won't. I gave up trying to figure out how this twisted logic is so
obvious to everyone but me, after a few miserable attempts at pleading for
common sense on those lists that do this, I did the obvious and unsubscribed.
Apparently the correct answer is you are supposed to hit the reply all button
to lists that are 'politically correct'. However, since I consider private
mail (of that sort) an intrusion on my privacy, I wasn't about to inflict
reply all on anyone else. Sbort answer? Kmail is not to blame, it is doing
what the header tells it to.
