Well if it's Debian policy to respect the headers such as Mail-Copies-To:, why do we distribute a default /etc/Muttrc that ignores that one? (I am not a mutt wizard, so I don't know if this header can be automatically taken into consideration, but there is probably some way, even if only an ugly hack, to do it.) > As you would have seen, if you had read my headers, is that I use > gnus.

I was merely providing instructions for the MUA that I am most familiar with. I have heard good things about Gnus also. There is probably a standard and not-too-difficult way to selectively add the Mail-Followup-To: header to such a configurable system as any incarnation of Emacs. I wish I could provide a way, but I can't. Even if there is no way to do the above, why does mutt ignore that header with the default Debian configuration? - Jimmy Kaplowitz jimmy@debian.org
