that is the email address for the KDE/Fedora mailing list. How do you
access this (KDE/Fedora) mailing list??
According to the mail headers, he's using the Gmane NNTP gateway (through
KNode, though that doesn't matter here), which (to prevent spam) mangles all
the e-mail addresses in messages.
I also use Gmane (also with KNode) and I see "KDE-" + a bunch of ASCII
gibberish (looks like a BASE64 encoding of a hash) + at sign +
"public.gmane.org".
FWIW, IMHO, Gmane + KNode is a really nice way to read mailing lists, NNTP
is much more suited for discussion than e-mail (even more so because I use
POP3 for my e-mail, which just doesn't scale to mailing lists).
