There is an option ("this address is for > a mailing list" it think it was called) that handled that... 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.
