    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>
    To: freebsd-hackers@xxxxxxxxxxx
    Message-ID: <20040109003630.GA63979@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    my list-reply:

    From: Roman Neuhauser <neuhauser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    To: Kris Kennaway <kris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    Message-ID: <20040109095246.GT54743@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    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
