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.
Hi William,
Your email quoted in part above contains the following headers:
References: 201802171815.09906.gheskett@shentel.net In-Reply-To: 201802171815.09906.gheskett@shentel.net
Either your KMail is really messed up or you sometimes start an email and then repurpose it. For example it looks like that email started as a reply to Gene and then you changed it to go to the list but it already had the references to Gene in it.
This could explain how references to person A got into your correspondence with person B.

I do that too. Adding and occasionally deleting target adresses after the composer is opened.
And I'd call that a bug, those headers should be composed when its sent, not when the composer is opened. They s/b done dynamically after its determined where the message is going.
My $0,02.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
