I never noticed. I think there's an argument to be had about reply-to 
mangling by mailing lists, but I avoid the problem entirely: I use 
mutt's <list-reply> function to reply to all mailing list messages (by 
default, this is bound to the L key, I think).

And before you protest "that's annoying! What if I forget?", let me 
stop you right there. Why forget? MUTT TO THE RESCUE! I figure I 
almost *always* want to list-reply when I'm replying to a mailing-list 
message, right? So, I rebind the 'r' key with... you guessed it: 
HOOKS! (Have I mentioned that I *love* hooks?)

The easiest way to do this is with a message-hook:

     message-hook .  'bind pager l list-reply; bind pager r reply'
     message-hook ~l 'bind pager r list-reply; bind pager l reply

Eh? Eh? Cool, no? (the ~l matches all mailing-list messages) Of 
course, that doesn't help in the INDEX, and it's impossible to change 
the key bindings based on the message that's *SELECTED*, so I match 
based on the folder I'm in (which is virtually always what I want to 
do):

     folder-hook . \
         'bind index l list-reply; bind index r reply'
     folder-hook "Subscribed" \
         'bind index r list-reply; bind index l reply'

Make sense?
