            Bug ID: 318906
           Summary: KMail replies by default to "sender" instead of "From"
                    in distribution lists: unintended list spamming
                    frequent
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: asala at isa.upv.es

When receiving mails from a distribution list, the field "sender" is usually
the list server agent.
However, the field "From" is the actual submitter of the message. To avoid
abusing the list, the default reply should be reply to the "From" address.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a list message in the inbox
2. Press "R" or select "Reply"

Actual Results:  

Actual behaviour:
Default Reply replies to the whole list (wrong, in my opinion).
Reply to Author, Reply All: correct behaviour.

Expected Results:  

Expected behaviour:
1. "Reply" action opens composer window with "TO:" extracted from "From:" field
in original message (same default as "reply to author"). [Or, perhaps, a dialog
reply to list or reply to author?] ... Other Clients do like this (Dynamic Mail
webmail).

Here you have a message header causing this behaviour.
