I just started using Mutt with mailing lists last year. At first I only had 3 lists from the same project. I leave my mail on the spool and manually save to the local boxes. This worked pretty well at first ; the mailbox was created and the "r" key replied to the mailing list.
I think this was because these lists set the "Reply-To" header so that all replies went to the list. Then I added some subcriptions and apparently these lists allow replies to either the list or the poster .The mailboxes didn't get created and "r" showed the posters address. After reading the docs I have : set followup_to=yes set honor_followup_to=yes lists mutt-users@ some-others@ **suscribe caused only mutt-users@ to be shown in the index ** I wanted to see the posters names various save-hooks If I understand correctly I wiil have Mail-Followup-to header set to the mailing list I am responding and responces go to the list rather than to me , which is what I want. The only problem with this config is I have to use List-Reply for some mail and not for others. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated. Mike Hollis
