There are other lists than Debian lists in the world. Not all lists have
that policy. :-) Personally I _always_ reply to the list (L in
mutt(-ng)).
I just wanted to somehow achieve the following:
1. When I post to a mailing list that I am subscribed to I want replies
to the list.
2. When I post to a mailing list that I'm not subscribed to I want a
private reply.
It seems Mail-Followup-To: is the header I should be using. If I put the
mailing list's address in that header when posting to mailing lists then
quality clients will reply only to the list. If I put both the list's
and my private address in it replies will go to the list and to me
privately.
Now I only have to get mutt-ng to behave... its behaviour doesn't seem
to follow the documentation in this case :-(

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.
Most people, I think, don't even know what a Rootkit is, so why should
they care about it?
