If you have the address of the mailing list in one of your 
'subscribe' commands, e.g.,

    subscribe mutt-users

then you can (and should) reply to the list with the list-reply 
command, bound to 'L' by default.  See the mutt manual:

    2.3.4.  Miscellaneous Functions
    3.9.    Mailing lists
    4.8.    Handling Mailing Lists

HTH,
