Mail-Followup(no "s")-To is like Folloup-To, but for mail. It's not
defined in any RFC, so don't try to argue MFT on those grounds.
Mail-Copies-To is defined in an RFC, I think, but only for news. I
had thought Gnus noticed it for mail as well, and that it was the only
UA to do so. Anyway, MFT can express anything expressible with MCT.
So pragmatically, anyone setting MCT in mail ought to set MFT as well,
in order to make their intensions known to as many MUAs as possible.
