Okay. I have cut it down as much as I can and still show the
problem. Here it is:
----muttrc-test----
set hostname=mimosa.garydjones.name
set alternates="*...@garydjones.name"
set envelope_from=yes
set followup_to=yes
set editor="emacsclient -a='' -t %s"
set reverse_name=yes
set reverse_realname=yes
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/msmtp"
set spoolfile="$HOME/Mail/inbox"

# mailing lists
lists test-l...@garydjones.name
subscribe test-l...@garydjones.name
----end----

What I did to test was set up an address on my domain and test that as a
"mailing list" (see last section) and then reply to posts to that
"list".

The problem only occurs when the "alternates" line is included, but I
don't know if it's faulty config there (should it be "....@gary..."?),
that mutt knows the mailing list is on my domain and therefore decides
not to generate a header (i.e. my test case is wrong) or if it is a bug.

Well, yeah, but it is using the test muttrc, which is what I was
referring to :)
