You got there a lot faster than I did. Presumably you don't/didn't have any special treatment of followup_to and honor_followup_to in your .muttrc file. It would appear to me that it's only polite for someone to add their *own* address to any Mail-Followup-To header (apart from list addresses of course) so that they receive replies-to-replies (which a simple Reply-To header wouldn't achieve). Otherwise it acts a bit like an email-bomb, doesn't it? Cheers, David.
