I too try to stick with the defaults mostly. I didn't have any my_hdr
Rely-to: before. Two days back, when i tried to configure gmail in
mutt, along with my workplace email id, i tried to cook up two
profiles - some online helpfile had these header, so i added it. 

Also IIRC, some online help had instruction to 'tell' mutt about the
mailing lists, hence i added the mailing-lists file and sourced it in
.muttrc.

While i am at it, what do you guys do when you have two copies of your
own mail, one in your sent-mail (or another folder, if you have a hook) 
and another sent to you by the mailing list? (I know Andrei does not
have to worry about that, gmail removes one copy for him but what
about the others?)
