    Unfortunately most of these mailing lists will overwrite your
"Reply-To:" with the list address.


    In muttrc you may want to set $followup_to and $honor_followup_to,
and declare your mailing lists with "lists" or "subscribe" commands.
This will help you sending and receiving replies where appropriate, at
least with MFT compatible MUAs. See also $ignore_list_reply_to.

    Which ones? If you talk about some autoresponders and bouncers:
They'll most probably continue to use the envelope, neglecting your
"Reply-To:".

    The last time this issue came on the list (last week) the answer by
WBY was: « you need to add your user as a "trusted user" in the sendmail
configuration ».


Bye!    Alain.
