This suggestion keeps coming up, but I think it's a solution to a different problem. The mailing list sets Reply-To to keep discussions on the list regardless of what MUA people are using. When the mailing list is configured that way, Mutt exhibits the behavior with group replies that I have mentioned, and the workaround is either to answer "n" to the question or to set the reply_to option differently: reply_to Type: quadoption Default: ask-yes If set, Mutt will ask you if you want to use the address listed in the Reply-To: header field when replying to a message. If you answer no, it will use the address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you want to send a private message to the author of a message. This problem and the workaround apply even if the mailing list in question is configured in Mutt as such, in which case Mutt would set Mail-Followup-To on your messages, but that's irrelevant. If I understand correctly, Mail-Followup-To reduces occurrences of duplicate replies to you, but it does not prevent missed group replies from you to off-list message senders when the list sets Reply-To.
