If one creates a new distribution list, i.e. enters some email addresses in the composer and clicks on "save distribution list", the list is added to kaddressbook. Auto-completion in a new composer does not work. One can however pick the distribution list via the composer > and the "select" next to the email address' field. The name of the distribution list is added to the address field. Sending the email shows that not the email addresses of the distribution list is not added to the email but just the hostname added to the distribution list's name, i.e. DistributionListName@hostname. KDE SC 4.9.2. It is reported as not working in 4.8.5 as well, it did however work in >= 4.6. Reproducible: Always
duplicate report no ?:)
If it's one bug report per issue not. The original bug was fixed. This is a new one with the same symptoms. But you can close it if you wish and re-open the other.
Waiting long enough solves this issue. So the actual problem is that kaddressbook waits for nepomuk to index the distribution list instead of pushing it into nepomuk. I'll file a new bug for that.
