I use the drop-down to make it BCC, then I press the 'select' button, which 
opens a window 'select recipient', I set address book option to 'Distribution 
Lists', but my dist list is not shown, even though it is definitely showing 
under the kaddressbook.

To edit a distribution list, it only shows the ability to add single email 
addresses at a time, rather than a larger text box, where I could edit 
individual ones, or add new ones. I just mean, one large text box with all the 
email address, for that distribution list; there seems no function to do that. 
The edit shows multiple single boxes, will get messy to manage when there are 
a considerable number of email addresses in a distribution list.

Thanks,
