I try to compose a message to a group. If I try to use the group address
format, kmail either warns about illegal characters or automatically
inserts default domain (which results in an invalid address), or both.
So, I write
To: some nickname of agroup: ;
and kmail replaces that with:
To: some nickname of agroup: ;@host
and complains about illegal characters. I there a way to get kmail to
understand that I want to use group syntax (ie. to disable automatic
address scanning).

Create a "group" in KAddressbook to mail to. I have forgotten the exact
procedure, but you can create a group title there, and use it in
KMail's "To:" field (select from address book in KMail's window.) Your
email window will show the group name only. Any editing of group members
is done in your address book.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that kmail expands the group to a list
of actual recipients when sending. I don't know how to change this
behavior. And I still don't understand why kmail doesn't understand
standard group address syntax.
