You may need to configure the mailing lists in your .muttrc file.
I used to have this done, but the mutt I have now doesn't seem to
require it.
Here's the entire contents of the .muttrc file I used back when I needed
it. (I found it on a backup -- always keep backups)
subscribe debian-user
subscribe fom.cs.nyu.edu
subscribe monotone-devel
subscribe smarteiffel.loria.fr
subscribe m3devel
subscribe tunes.tunes.org
subscribe plt-scheme.list.cs.brown.edu
subscribe stratego.cs.uu.nl
subscribe debian-testing.lists.debian.org
Maybe this helps? There seems to be some way of abbreviating list names
that I don't fully understand yet -- and probably never will, now that I
don't seem to need it.

And that's what other mailing lists fuck up -- they mung the reply-to
header to point to themselves, with the result that it may no longer be
possible to reply personally to the original poster.
