   This is weird.  I sent 2 replies to BT's original post, the first saying   
   that the update was in the repos, the second saying that it was in the   
   "nonfree" repo.  My KNode automatically fills the Follow-up header with   
   "Chose an appropriate group...", which gets included, with all the words   
   separated by commas.  That is enough to make the message non-sendable.  I   
   only have to click on the field and it goes blank.  KNode used to fill in   
   the groups from the "Groups" line.  I hadn't noticed, and was blaming a guy   
   pushing same-sex marriage in another ng.  He was crazy enough!  It must be   
   in a template somewhere. This time I clicked it, the field went blank, and   
   the result is O.K., but I don't want to have to do that every time.   
      
   I ditched Kmail for a couple of reasons.  It seems that KDE have stuffed up   
   KNode as well.   
      
   Doug.
