            Bug ID: 349939
           Summary: distribution list name selects wrong list of email
                    addresses
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: contacts
          Assignee: tokoe at kde.org
          Reporter: stefan.schwarzer at gmx.net

I encountered bizarre behavior using distributions lists. 
OS is debian testing/unstable with kontact/kaddressbook/kmail at 4.14.2

I have a distribution list 'duplo' in my address book folder 'Privat' which I
have been using for a while and which I broke by creating a new (unrelated)
distribution list 'duplo-interessenten-juni'. This second list was created by
the save list option in Tools when creating a new mail message to multiple
recipients (here listed all but two in the BCC field). By 'broke' I mean
that when I specify 'duplo' in the 'To' field of a new messages the message
gets sent to the list members of  'duplo-interessenten-juni' instead - I can
see this in the header of the 'sent' mail (and originally learned it by seeing
some bounces from addresses only in the wrong list).
However, checking the lists in kontact/addressbook shows the intended, correct
addresses
being associated with both lists. This happened twice on selection of the
'duplo' group before 
I realized that some component of the mail system is responsible and not me
picking the wrong name. Both lists existed for several days unused before I
discovered the problem.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
I cannot reproduce because I get hit by another bug. I have tried:
1. create a list named 'a' in my address book, existing folder 'Private'
2. open a message, type an address, save as 'a-b' using Tools/save list
3. restart kontact
Both a and a-b are then correctly entered in the address book folder.
However, both sending to 'a' or 'a-b' fail with the message :  'a at nbof08'
The email address you entered is not valid because it does not contain a '.'.
You will not create valid messages if you do not change your address. A.f.a.i.k
this latter behavior is a known issue.
