Quoting from the Mutt manual:
Mutt has a few nice features for handling mailing lists. In order to take advantage of 
them, you must specify which addresses belong to mailing lists, and which mailing 
lists you are subscribed to. Once you have done this, the list-reply function will 
work for all known lists. Additionally, when you send a message to a subscribed list, 
mutt will add a Mail-Followup-To header to tell other users' mail user agents not to 
send copies of replies to your personal address. Note that the Mail-Followup-To header 
is a non-standard extension which is not supported by all mail user agents. Adding it 
is not bullet-proof against receiving personal CCs of list messages. Also note that 
the generation of the Mail-Followup-To header is controlled by the followup_to 
configuration variable.
