Reading the thread that you pointed at below, I recall that I customised my toolbar to include the Actions 'Reply To All', 'Reply To Author' and 'Reply To Mailing List'. Unfortunately, the last time I upgraded those customisation's seem to have been cleared, so all I had left was the default 'Reply'....

I remember now. My issue then, as now, is that I never had to do anything but hit 'Reply' for years and the message would be sent to the List. Then something started sowing confusion (for me at least). I don't know what changed; KMail, or the list, but it still catches me out regularly, particulary because the KDE developers keep breaking backwards compatibility and settings that have worked for years suddenly disappear ;-( I keep threatening to abandon KDE, but the trouble is that I like more than I hate ;-) -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-11-01 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
