Yesterday I came across the following situation:

I have a distribution list 'duplo' in my address book folder 'Privat' which I have been using for a while and
which I broke by creating a new (unrelated) distribution list 'duplo-interessenten-juni'. This second list was created
by the save list option when creating a new mail message to multiple recipients (in the BCC field). By 'broke' I mean
that when I specify 'duplo' in the 'To' field of a new messages, the message gets sent to the list members of
'duplo-interessenten-juni' instead - I can see this in the header of the 'sent' mail (and originally learned it
by seeing some bounces from addresses only in the wrong list).
However, checking the lists in kontact/addressbook shows the intended, correct addresses
being associated with both lists. My appetite for experimenting is low as I have sent mail to the wrong group
twice and the recipients are a bit sensitive...

As a first measure, I have renamed the 'duplo-interessenten-juni' group, as there may be a pattern matching issue
somewhere. But I am now looking for a way to _reliably_ verify which addresses get substituted when I specify either
group before I make use of the lists again.

I have tried to play with akonadiconsole, but I guess that my SQL skills are basically non-existing...
Can anybody provide some hints?

Thanks
Stefan

Please report this as a bug on bugs.kde.org, detailing all the steps on what you did to trigger this behavior.

ok - I filed a bug.

Though: Issues with distribution lists have hunted me for long time - I'd be happy to know if there is a way t verify the address expansion before sending an email...
