[kmail2] [Bug 318906] KMail replies by default to "sender" instead of "From" in distribution lists: unintended list spamming frequent

--- Comment #1 from Wolfgang Ludwig <wolfgang at bofh.hanau.net> ---
I can confirm that this is an issue, especially when an email alias such as
allstudents at university.edu is used to send announcement to all members of the
community. Clearly, responses to the email should go to the sender and not to
the collection address.

I suggest the following solution: There is anyway a possibity in KMail2 to
setup a directory for the use with a mailing list. If a directory is set up in
this way, in my experience, emails always go to the mailing list (even if the
address is nowhere mentioned in the email header). So, I suggest that replies
should only go to the mailing list if the directory is set up in this way, and
by default, a reply should go to the sender / all the senders.

It would also be good if there is a configuration option for the default action
for hitting on "reply" so that by default the reply goes to the sender, not the
list. There are many situations where people don't expect to be posting on the
list, and the damage of accidently not posting to the list but to the sender is
smaller than vice-versa.
