MFT is described in the manual, yes. But the other header modifications
(e.g. myhdr ) are displayed within the editor. Therefore I would like
to see a line. "Please note, that MFT header is generated after
editing the mail just before actually transmitting it via smtp".

Using list-reply, mutt knows, that I am replying to the List,
therefore could add the MFT for that list.

Yes, I could use list-reply and add cc to another list ...
No problem with the mutt behaviour, just an idea to prevent somebody
else from spending too much time with trying to produce MFT headers ...
