perhaps you should not set the 'Reply-to' or 'To' headers and just the 'From' header? that's what i do. eg if i hit 'r' instead of 'L', my folder hook still sets the 'from' address to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', (which is intentional - so that follow-ups directed directly to me are at least categorized in the correct folder) hitting 'L' should automatically set the correct 'to' field so there's no need to set this. i suppose one could argue as to whether or not setting the 'Reply-To' header to the list is a good idea; i'd just nicely ask people to reply to the list if they accidentally reply to me instead. hitting 'L' should also set 'Mail-Followup-To' correctly, so assuming other peoples' clients follow this (what other mail clients besides mutt pay attention to this?) that should help make sure the reply is directed appropriately. this scheme messes me up sometimes too when i forward a message from a list and forget to edit the header. such is life. w -- GPG Public Key: http://infinitejazz.net/will/pgp/
