is there a way in kontact/kmail to specify what the default 'from'

Yes,

Send a "New message to Mailing List" by right clicking on the folder that
holds the mailing list, or, at the top in the Message > Send New Message.
To reply, Message > Reply Special > Reply to Mailing List. Or, just hit
L on your keyboard. This will work if you have your mailing lists set up
in Kmail. I have 4 separate ones and can do this on all of them.

But if I just start a new message, and provide the mailinglist address, it
*should* be made to have the same effect. I pretty much start all my new
mails (that are not replies) this with CTRL-N. I should not have to treat
mailing list mail differently.

a mix of davids original reply, plus my habit of using the middle button to
open a new mail based on the folder i am currently viewing, has created a
workaround thats good enough for a while.

once the folder properties has been set up, the bottom dropdown-tab of the
properties window is where you specify which profile to always use for that
mailing list folder. for some reason i never noticed it. and, as i
mentioned above, i use the middle mouse button to create a new mail, which so
far, apears to respect the folder setting.

cheers,
jonathan
