Thank you for your answer.
So it should work. I will check and try again.
If I still cannot get it working, I will get back to kdepim-users (see 
PS below)

cheers,
NOrbert

PS: I tried to subscribe kdepim-users but got the answer that I was 
already subscribed.
But as I _never_ received any postings from kdepim-users, I thought it 
was a "dead" list with no traffic.
And then, it is not possible to visit/read/search the kdepim-users 
Archives too.

But when I investigated further into this, I saw that just the mail 
delivery from the list to my email adress was disabled.
(I don't know why).
