As noted already, this solves the problem of handling replying to the list yourself, but not the problem of someone replying to you directly (unless their mailer honors your M-F-T header). I will just make an aside here that I've made another time or two on the list: this header is a draft that was never made an actual standard, and is really only either generated by, or honored by, one or two other clients aside from Mutt (none of them widely used). And, the type of people most likely to reply-all and leave you copied are probably the most likely to not be using those very niche clients.

The war is probably long over, and you're probably right that it's the least annoying thing, especially for non-technical lists, but seeing this brought me back to the days when I actually used mailing lists routinely, and people posting this article was common: https://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-harmful.html One thing is that doing this does make it more difficult for someone to reply to you off-list should they want / need to. /w
