Sure, MFT implies followup, but isn't that pretty much the same as
list-reply? I think his issue is with:
- you like CCs to the list, so you set MFT on all your mails to
the list address as well as yours.
- I see your mail and reply to it, mutt sees the MFT and preserves
it. It needs not add the list address, and I don't want it to
add mine, so it copies the MFT header with the list address as
well as yours to my mail.
- Someone else replies to *my* mail in the same way, and his
mailer honours MFT, so no *you* also get CC'd on the reply, even
though the subject may have diverged and you're not interested
anymore.
I generally don't mind following threads to which I have posted,
even if they diverge (I have a good thread/subject blacklisting in
place). However, Junio doesn't, and at least wrt git, he's way more
active, so I ought to really respect his preferences.
