Bug 82331

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Newsgroup account settings, on the "Identity" tab, provides a Mail-Copies-To field.  My expectation is that this field means that when I post to the group, copies of my postings will be mailed to the indicated addresses.

This is consistent with the help documentation, which says
  Mail-Copies-To
  If you enter an email address here, every article will be sent to the usenet and to this email address.

However, this is not the behavior.  When I post, either to a moderated or unmoderated group, I get no copy of the message.  My system reports no attempted mail activity (I have mail configured in KNode to use localhost:25).

When I reply to a message I have posted in this way, I get a pop up saying the poster has requested an email copy of the reply.  And an email copy is sent (which I think shows the mail setup is OK), along with the usenet post.

Both features are valuable, but the current combination of behavior and documenation isn't quite right.

I would prefer that Mail-Copies-To behaves as documented (since that is what I expect from the name).  A "new" feature, with a name like Request-Mail-Replies-To, would be nice too.  I put "new" in quotes, because this appears to be the only functionality currently implemented.

Thanks for the program.
