Replying to posted messages

My method of replying to posted messages is awkward and inelegant even if it does produce the right result. I choose "reply to all" and then manually delete the original poster from the "To:" line, figuring that the poster is on the list and so will receive a copy anyway but not an extra one. That method also shows the poster's name at the beginning of the quoted message. What I don't like about that is having to do the deletion manually. Is there a more elegant way to get the same result (under Kmail)? Paul Abrahams
