Yes. That is not the problem. The problem is responders who *deliberately*
don't respond to list.
You claim to know how to set one's email client to stop people responding
personally. My email in response to your last doesn't seem to have got
through to the list; perhaps because of the screenshot. So here it is
without.

Taking that as personally aimed, nothing would give me greater pleasure. I am
simply not technically competent enough. I refer above to "my inability to
configure KMail correctly".
I have a blank page in which to " define custom mime header fields", and an
opportunity to use a custom message-id suffix. (See attachment.)
What do I put, where, to achieve stopping these wretched cc's from landing in
my private mail??
I'd also like the copy to the list to land in my list folder, not be
discarded.
