Yes, I'm setting "Mail-Followup-To" to subscribed mailing lists in
Mutt. I don't think that's Debian specific. I also don't expect a
mailing list to follow anyone's list policies other than their
own.
I wasn't aware that Mail-Followup-To was non-standard, I'll
reconfigure mutt to use Reply-to.
I only asked that replies go to the list and not me personally
because I have procmail receipes that filter out things but I
save mailing list emails first based on the X-BeenThere header.

Yes, I'm on that one too. It's very quiet but I want to learn
Exim, not Debian's interpretation of it.
I seem to have got off on the wrong foot here, sorry.
Steven.

Absolutely nothing to do with Debian, honest. Never even heard of
them. Have no idea what they do, is it a kind of fruit cake? Silly
name anyway, sounds like something someone made up to keep his
girlfriend happy. Should have tried chocolates they always work.
