Description Garry Williams 2009-08-22 15:53:19 UTC

Version:           1.12.0 (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Kmail ignores New Message to Mailing-List command.  Both menu and short cut actions are ignored.

This function worked fine in previous releases.  I just updated to:

kdepim-runtime-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586
kdepim-libs-4.3.0-2.fc11.i586
kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.3.0-2.fc11.i586
kdepim-4.3.0-2.fc11.i586
kdebase3-pim-ioslaves-3.5.10-8.fc11.i586
kdepimlibs-4.3.0-2.fc11.i586
kdepim-runtime-libs-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586

I assume you mean it does not work when the current folder does not contain a mailing list ?
If so, then this will be fixed in 4.3.1 (already fixed with revision 1005691)

Not so.

The folder contains a mailing list.  Folder->Mailing List Management says Folder holds a mailing list, Detect Automatically.

The Ctrl-Shift-N action opened the composer window appropriately before recent updates.

Hmmm - I can not reproduce with KDE 4.3.0 (kdepim 154.1) openSuse 11.1.
Did you make sure that the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut is still assigned to this action ?
And also that the mailing list email address is in the list in the properties dialog ?

Comment 4 Garry Williams 2009-08-23 16:06:59 UTC

I see what happened now.

When you asked about the E-mail address, I noticed that the Folder->Mailing List Management dialog did not specify the E-mail address.  I clicked the Detect Automatically button and now it shows an E-mail address.  This fixed it.

The original problem seems to be that I somehow lost the folder properties after the last update.

I'm sorry I didn't recognize this.  Please consider this closed.

(There may be a problem with the last update I received that blows away the folder (mailing list) properties.  But I don't think I can reproduce that and it's probably a packaging issue and not a KDE bug.)

Great, thanks for your feedback.
