I have

	# set followup_to = yes

in my .mutt/muttrc---so I'm using the default---but I'm still
unaffected. I think this is because I don't have any lists specified
(using the lists and subscribe commands). And note that there are lists
that consider using MFT to be good, ISTR that it applies to
*@...ts.debian.org, but cannot currently find a reference to support
that claim. The problem is that using MFT only works if all recipents
are using and respecting it.

If Russell is annoyed in general by MFT, he could unset
honor_followup_to.
 
Best regards
Uwe
