Hi all!

Dotan (Cohen) here referred me to this bug, and I have a few questions:

1. {SMTP Server Filter} - wouldn't it be easier to implement this as an SMTP
server (Postfix, etc.) filter, and then configure kmail to send it via the
local SMTP server, which will do the hard work in respect to this bug for
KMail? Such filters can be written in Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. which will make the
job even easier.

2. {Conflict} - what happens if you send an email to more than one mailing
list, where you have a different address used for each? How will the conflict
be resolved?

Regards,
