It is almost not usable. First, it puts the name of the list in front of every address cluttering the TO field in a bad way. Second, and most importantly, each name containing a space cannot be processed by KMail because it doubles the < and > signs. For example, I am entered in my database as: Pitermann Michel<[email protected]> This is translated using your method in: List_Name <Pitermann Michel <[email protected]>> When I send the email, KMail gives this error message: "The email address you entered is not valid because it contains too many closing angle brackets.". I have to manage a list of around 50 clubs. I cannot edit 30 addresses every time. Third, when I create a group, it is not created as a list and it does not appear in the Select list. I only have "List of Emails", "Distribution Lists", "Recent Addresses", and "Recipient Lists". To make a Group appear in the Select chooser, I have to manually transform the Group in a List. To do that, I have to go in the ~/.local/share/contacts directory, I have to find which file contains the new Group using a string search tool, and I have to add with a text editor this line: CATEGORIES:List of Emails As you can see, it is a real pain. I can do that, but my father will not be able to do it. So, is there another means ? Thanks for your reply anyway. pit -- ************************************************************************ Michel Pitermann CNRS - Aix-Marseille University Laboratoire Parole et Langage 5 avenue Pasteur, BP 80975 13604 Aix-en-Provence Cedex 1, France tel: +33 - (0)4 13 55 27 05 _______________________________________________ KDE PIM users mailing list Subscription management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users
