Hi all!
I just noticed: When I "reply to list", then kmail does not use the email
address I specified to be used for answers in this folder. Does that happen to
other's, too? My kmail is version 4:14.1.0~s274-0debian12.0.0+10~a, I am quite sure it
worked on 14.0.1.

I created templates, and tried to create one specifically for the TDE users
mailing list, which usually works okay.
In this case, when I hit "reply", my "To" address reads:
TDE Users <users(a)trinitydesktop.org>
But sometimes, when I see replies to other people, or other people's replies
to me, it will have both the TDE users address, and my own personal email
(which I would prefer *not* to be so).
Not that I mind anybody here having my address, but I don't like unknown
entities "out there" harvesting my email address along with others. That's
how one gets marked as a spammer in the first place: somebody gets our
addresses, then uses it for spam. Of course, they would have to compromise
those accounts, and maybe a really good password, encryption, and all that
stuff will help; but I have got spammed from people that I know very well,
and they had no idea that their account was being misused by somebody else
for spam. So it is possible that emails get sent out using our email
addresses, and it has nothing to do with what we ourselves do.

I just tried: Kmail uses the last used mail address, no matter what I settings I have for
the folder. It does not use the default email address, even when writing a mail from
scratch. At least it does so here.

That's what I get when I hit "Reply" (R). "Reply to list" (L) only
uses the lists email address.

Oh, that kind of spam is still around?

I think it never left. But maybe they don't always compromise your account,
but just "borrow" your address; unless you look at the headers you won't
know
its true origin, and imagine it's from your long-time friend.
At least, that's my theory.

Most assuredly. My email account is a wild-card email account.
I see incoming email directed to all sorts of local-part names.
I've come to believe quite a few local-name 'fabrications" come from
folks that want to sign up at a website, at a conference, at a retail
store for some reason but do not wish to give out their real email addy.
And, too, I see local-part construction from just dragging a finger
randomly across the keyboard.
My ISP uses my spam folder as input to his system-wide spamassassin
filtering. He finds it quite useful. :-)
Be safe out there,

I think you mean you receive emails from forged email accounts.
Crackers gather addressbooks from account they crack into at AOL, Yahoo,
etc., and then sell or rent the cracked account's local-parta and domain
email address along with all that was in the addressbook to spammers.
(-: Is the Millions CD even a 'thing' anymore? :-)
I see such forged email 'from' my fool brother-in-law (still using AOL)
frequently. A simile inspection of the headers would show the email
never passed through any AOL servers. His Windows Pee-Cee is cracked
on a somewhat frequent schedule. sigh....
So it is
possible that emails get sent out using our email
addresses, and it has nothing to do with what we ourselves do.
