Distribution lists didn't work at all when the new KAddressBook was first 
launched.  As a work-around it was possible to have a distribution list in 
your addressbook, display the names in the addressbook (in the right-hand 
panel) and copy/paste into the address field of a message.  Not good, but it 
worked.

About 3 months ago the developers got distribution lists working for 4.5, and 
soon after backported the fix for 4.4, but not all distros have included that 
backport.  I don't know the situation in OpenSUSE.

By the way, if you do use distribution lists, be careful about listing names 
Lastname(comma)Firstname - the commas confuse the system.
