There is a recurring glitch in my emails, which

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(a)shentel.net>
In-Reply-To: <201802171815.09906.gheskett(a)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.
