The key word above is "subscribed". And this is what distinguishes the "subscribe" command from the "lists" command. The documentation for $followup_to further elaborates: The header will contain only the list's address for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own email address for unsubscribed lists. So, using the "subscribe" command will generate only the list address in the MFT header. Using the "lists" command will generate both the list address and your own email address. The fact that this has tripped up at least a couple long-time users means the documentation is not clear enough about this. I'll add something to the "Handling Mailing Lists" section to help clarify this. -- Kevin J. McCarthy GPG Fingerprint: 8975 A9B3 3AA3 7910 385C 5308 ADEF 7684 8031 6BDA
