Also, apologies for accidentally sending to your private email! I just hit reply without looking.

There is a recurring glitch in my emails, which involves another person (person A) here on the mailing list. (I don't name him here, but I have already contacted him to ask about it.) It involves the mailing list, maybe, because I only know him from the list, and we have only exchanged a couple of personal emails outside the list.
Now here is the actual "problem": I have another friend (person B) who is not a member of the list. When she recently sent me an email from her phone, the private email address of this first person (person A, a member of the list) showed up in her (person B's) email headers. There is absolutely no other connection between these two persons, except of course for myself.
I went through other email correspondents, to see if something similar was happening, but it only seems to be with these two people. I created an entirely new email (no metadata from replies, etc.) to send her (person B) something, and again I found person A's headers in this email that I sent.
So it doesn't seem to matter if person B or myself initiate the email; the headers from person A (who is a member of this list) always show up in the headers.
Sorry for the vague description, but I am taking pains to avoid mentioning names. If person A (member of the list) chooses to join the conversation, then I can speak a little more freely. And let me make it clear that I do not suspect either of these people of anything at all, as they both seem as clueless as myself about these matters.
Can anybody offer an explanation for this email quirk? I bring my question here, because it involves somebody else who is a member of the list, so that it might be a concern for other members of the list, and of course for the moderators, Slavek, et al.
I would be glad to offer a sample of the headers, but I also need to consider the other persons involved.

Are you using KMail?
dep
Yes. Person A (member of list), also, I believe, uses Kmail.
The other person, B, does not use it, as she is unclear about anything that does not include the rotten Apple or Windoze. She knows almost nothing about security, privacy, etc., and I have had to urge her to take even the smallest reasonable precautions.
