KMail: distribution lists not working

[Roman Naumann]

Sorry I didn't mention which version I use. I'm using KDE 4.4.4. Until a few 
days ago, I was using KDE 4.4.3. The distribution I use is Gentoo-Linux. I had 
the same issue with 4.4.3.

Your understanding is correct. That's the situation - and, up to that 
point, everything you say happens.

When I save the Email to 'drafts', it just lists one 
recipient: <name of distribution list>.

When I select to send the mail, kmail tries to send it to <name of 
list>@<local hostname>, instead of replacing the name of the list with the 
members of the list..

Yes, all recipients of the distribution list are shown when I select the list 
in KAddressbook.
