from TFM:


3.10.  Mailing lists
  
Usage: [un]lists regexp [ regexp ... ]
Usage: [un]subscribe regexp [ regexp ... ]
      
Mutt has a few nice features for `handling mailing lists''. In order to
take advantage of them, you must specify which addresses belong to
mailing lists, and which mailing lists you are subscribed to.  Once you
have done this, the `list-reply'' function will work for all known lists.
Additionally, when you send a message to a subscribed list, mutt will add
a Mail-Followup-To header to tell other users' mail user agents not to
send copies of replies to your personal address.  Note that the
Mail-Followup-To header is a non-standard extension which is not
supported by all mail user agents. Adding it is not bullet-proof against
receiving personal CCs of list messages. Also note that the generation of
the Mail-Followup-To header is controlled by the `$followup_to''
configuration variable.
