            Bug ID: 300916
          Severity: critical
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Reply to a mailing list message sends reply to the
                    list unconditionally instead of the sender
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: nine at detonation.org
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: commands and actions
           Product: kmail2

Today it happened again, that I replied to a message on our internal company
mailing list and the answer went to the whole list (all employees) instead of
only the single intended recipient. We use mailman as mailing list manager and
configured it explicitely to have answers go to the sender only.

In the best case this causes great embarassment and lost productivity for the
company. In the worst case this causes sensitive information or private
communication to be leaked to a whole mailing list. Therefore this should be
considered a security problem (which is the reason for choosing a severity of
"Critical").

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an email that went to a mailing list
2. hit reply

Actual Results:  
The mailing list's address is in the To field instead of the sender's.

Expected Results:  
The sender's email address is in the To field.
