    AFAIU this feature works roughly this way:
    when you issue <list-reply>, mutt checks whether any of the
    addresses in the headers matches one in your 'subscribe' or 'lists'
    (partial) addresses. If it finds a match, it replies to that
    address.

    So, two scenarios:
    1) you have "mutt-users" in your 'subscribe' line.
       you 'list-reply' to a message someone sent to
       [EMAIL PROTECTED]
       mutt takes that address as a list address, and puts it in the
       "To:" field.
    2) you have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in your 'subscribe' line.
       you 'list-reply' to a message someone sent to
       [EMAIL PROTECTED]
       mutt finds no match in your 'subscribe' line, and the command
       fails.
       
    Somebody correct me if this is wrong -- I haven't checked the
    source.
