Here's the problem (mail-client-specific - in my case, Kmail):

Like many of you, I subscribe to 2 Linux mail lists; the SuSE list and 
the generic list Doug hosts.  If I want to reply to something on the 
linux-users list, I click the 'reply' icon.  If I do the same thing on 
the SuSE list, the reply goes to the *author* and not the list, so then 
I must open the address book, find the address for the SuSE list, click 
on it, and then delete the author's address.

"Big deal!" you say.  But it is a royal PIA from where I sit.  If I 
remember, (*if*) I can click the  'reply ALL' icon and then remember to 
delete the extra address.  It would be great if they both worked the 
same way - but they don't.

My 2 kopecks...

Regards
