If this works it is great- this is what I wanted from start, so to 
speak. However, as described by Gil and noted by Anne, the Groups/Lists 
function is erratic in that it sometimes defaults to the 
"myid at mycomputer.mydomain" address, wherever it now picks up that.

I have noted that sometimes I can sort that problem by removing and then 
adding an address to the suddenly misbehaving list/group. Have no idea 
why/how and I am as upgraded as I can be on Kubuntu 10.04 with KDE 4.7 - 
though still (back) on Kontact 4.4/ KMail 1.

Best,
Sinclair

btw if Anne W does not have the answer then noone does but maybe the 
active developer ;-)
