Bruno, did you read the objections raised in that link I provided? I
know how Mail-Followup-To works. I also understand there are unresolved
problems with it.
Here's that link again:

This will be my last post on the subject, but please consider that MFT
is *not* a standard (and as far as I know hasn't shown up in an RFC
since the late '90s), supported by only a handful of MUAs... And the
(default), polite course of action has historically been not to CC folks
in mailinglist posts.
Enjoy your weekend,
Cael
