I've been always somwhat unsure about the exact way list-reply
works, and today I had an "accident" that a) makes a good example,
and b) is perhaps what you are wondering about.
I sent a message to freebsd-hackers@, which I'm 'subscribe'd to,
using list-reply. The message I was following up on had these
headers:
From: Kris Kennaway <kris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm 100% positive I used list-reply: I had to edit-headers the
message to insert the MFT by hand as I wanted to move the subthread
to another list, and since I was stressing the fact in the body
of the mail, I was careful so as to prevent public embarrassment. :)
Could someone tell me why mutt did this, and describe the exact
rules list-reply follows?

If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore
your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html
