Yes, I think so. I'll see about adding the request. There are some other

I'll include them as well.

It occurred to me that a feature request for Kmail to "reply to sender using
custom template" might be good. The reason is that, like probably most of us,
when I click to hit reply, my "Reply to" address always, invariably, gives my
personal email rather than the TDE mailing list.
Even though I am using my custom template for the TDE mailing list, with all
the other fields properly filled in, when I hit reply (even if, on both ends,
sender and receiver are using that template, I still end up sending out my
personal email as "Reply to"; so that when the person on the other end
replies, then I get two emails, one sent to the mailing list, the other sent
to my own email.
This snag rather defeats the idea of using templates, and even more messes up
the whole concept of a common mailing list address that we all share.
So I am forking off this thread specially for kmail templates & feature
requests. There are one or two other minor tweaks that I have in mind. This
seemed like the right time to bring it up.

OTOH, the Templates tab of the Folder =>
Properties dialog is useful
for overriding the default top-posting format, by enabling "Use custom
message templates" to rearrange the fields in the "Reply to All / Reply
to List" entry, and highlighting a message and using the Reply => Reply
to Mailing List toolbar button or the (unshifted) L hotkey. Using the
built-in templates, though, doesn't provide a way to fill in the header
fields like Bill's method does.

It would be nice if these two could be combined; that one could open one
of the built-in templates, change the address fields and whatever, then
save as a custom template.
I don't know if it's possible. I'll leave that to others to try.
Otherwise, maybe it ought to be a feature request?
