Yes, but *which* header?
There is a huge difference between:
"Person B sends me a fresh email, but the From address says Gene"
and
"Person B replies to my email, and when I use Show Headers, I see that
one of the In-Reply-To or Reference headers says Gene."
These are very different symptoms with probably very different causes
and fixes.
I don't know enough about how Kmail generates the In-Reply-To and
Reference headers to comment.
I think the In-Reply-To: and References: are two different critters. The
In-Reply-to: is legit, but the References: seems to, as Bill noted,
refer to our resubscribe date. I haven't a clue what or why that might
be worth including in a reply-to-list/all. Boggles my getting tinier
mind. Maybe I should up the B1 in my weekly pill-tainer? :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Yes, person A's (that is, Gene's) address shows up in the headers of
somebody else altogether. When person B sends me an email (not a
reply), I also get Gene's address in the headers. Person B doesn't know Gene at all,
doesn't know about TDE or the
list, and knows hardly anything about computers, hence uses the
rotten Apple and sometimes Windoze.
So you've said :-) but it's not really relevant unless it is a problem
with their mail client. It probably isn't.

which seems to be an email from 2018.
I did search for this email, and it seems not to exist at all;
indeed, never existed, I believe, because I save *almost*
everything, except spam and other crap like that.
