From what I read here:

,----[ man muttrc ]
| followup_to
|      Type: boolean
|      Default: yes
|
|      Controls whether or not the Mail-Followup-To header field is 
|      generated when sending mail. When set, Mutt will generate this 
|      field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with 
|      the subscribe or lists commands. 
`----

mutt will generate the Mail-Followup-To header only if I 'subscribe' to 
the list. So by my policy of minimal changes it makes sense to leave it 
at the default (yes) and not subscribe to any mailing list.

Andrei
