Being in the mail folder that holds a mailing list.

Do you have Kmail filtering the mailing list traffic to a specific folder? And 
have you specified that folder as containing a mailing list?  Ex: I have a 
KDElist folder and any mail coming in with the kde at mail.kde.org header gets 
put into that folder where I can read it, reply to it etc. and K mail knows 
to supply the correct identity, address, and subject (in the case of a reply) 
when I send it. This is quick and easy. K mail fills in the header for you. 
No other intervention needed.

Kmail has no way of knowing what your intentions may be. If you have several 
mailing lists subscribed to by different "identities" and you are in that 
folder then kmail knows what identity should send it. Even if all of your 
mail lists are subscribed to by the same person that would still hold true. 
If it is not done automatically through that method then you must choose 
which identity should send it.  If all of your mail is to and from lists make 
that sender "identity" the default one.

Really hope this helps.
