To make distribution list (that's what it's called, i think) you need to have all the addresses in the Addressbook individually, then you click File-> Distribution list, and add the addresses to the list, which really sucks, I agree. > And I can't make things go away.

I don't know what you mean. Do you mean create a folder in KMail? There is a checkbox which if you check, allow you to put a default address to post. So if you're in that folder and click the New Message button, the To box automatically gets filled in with the that address. Hope that helps.
