That's very odd. A reply to some entity should go To: them. Cc: is a
carbon copy for someone who is not being replied to.

You ought not to have to promote an address in that way when you reply-ALL.

But that would be breaking a perfectly good MUA.

The problem boils down to somebody adding addresses to Mail-Followup-To,
which has a worse effect that just CCing people when replying to d-u,
something that people already moan about. I already defend myself
against the latter with Reply-To: set to the list. Now it appears
I have to defend myself against committing the former by dropping
Mail-Followup-To. Unfortunately mutt cannot divine whether an address
in a received Mail-Followup-To was put there by the unsubscribed
owner, or gratuitously by someone else. It either passes them all
along, or drops them all, AFAICT.

Cheers,
David.
