This could be added by exim when it rewrites the envelope-from

Look for "followup-to" and "subscribe" and "lists". If you have
"followup-to" set then messages to an address you are "subscribe"d to
will have only the list address in the Mail-Followup-To: header.
Messages to an address that is a "lists" (you are not subscribed to)
will include your address so that you get a CC.

Where is this header? Is it in the "From" (not "From:") line in your
mailbox folder?
