After more digging, I understand a bit more about what's going on.

ChangeLog:
2004-07-20 08:17:21  Thomas Roessler  <roessler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(roessler)

        * imap/message.c, mutt.h, parse.c, send.c, url.c: Use List-Post
        headers when doing list-reply.

And indeed, there's a List-Post header present that specifies
listname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

I've changed my .muttrc as you suggested, to delimit the subscribed
address properly. 

But the list-reply still picks up both versions of the list address 
when I try to reply. (The 'normal' one is in the address used by the
person I was replying to.) There are no followup headers in the message.

This looks like a bug: mutt usually gives us the flexibility to work
around eccentric configurations by a listowner, but it doesn't seem to
work here.

Comments?
