Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

Hi
If sending mail to a mailing list, every receiver will the email adress for every member of this mailing list.
I would be very glad, if there is a funktion to generate individual mails for the member of a mailing list.
For example:
If  a mailing list has 10 members, I would not like to send 1 email with the address block of all 10 members to everybody. In some cases it's good to do so.
But I like to generate 10 emails with one mouse click to the members of the mailing list. Each mail with only 1 adress in it's head. So I can grant the privacy of the 10 members of the list (without giving their address to others)

Do you think, there is a way without writing a procedure in a shell?

regards 

herm

Subject: Re:  New: Mailing List for individual mails

That's what the BCC (blind carbon copy) header is for. Simply enter your 
own email address in the To field and enter the email address of all 
the other people in the BCC field (you probably have to make the BCC 
field visible via View->BCC).

Yes, this is one way, but not the best.
In my case bcc does not send a mail. ( A bcc to my adress does not come in)

In some cases I was told, that bcc mails will fail or be blocked in some spam filters. Maybe, I'm wrong.
I think, there seems no way than sending individual mails.

See comment #2

Changed summary because what you want is serial letters.

Bcc messages don't fail more often than normal messages because mail servers don't make a difference. And if a spam filter blocks bcc'ed messages then the filter is either not correctly configured or a really bad spam filter.

A serial letter function within Kmail would be fine. E.g. I'm thinking about fields which get filled with information from Kaddressbook (name, address, ..).

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Comment 7 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:59:12 UTC

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.

Comment 8 Julian G 2012-08-20 08:44:17 UTC

It is still valid for Kmail2, but I'm unable to change any options of this ticket. Please move it to kmail2 and reopen it.
