1. you can disable MFT entirely in mutt by unsetting $followup_to
2. it should only be added when sending mail to lists mentioned in
   "subscribe" lines in your mutt config
3. I believe it is created based on the value of your $from
   variable. Try setting $from to a valid e-mail address. $from also
   works better with $alternates and $reverse_name, so you should be
   using it anyway.
