guess what? not everyone uses mutt. not everyone should. > "Reply-to" is meant to send a message back to the person who wrote the > first one, not to someone they wrote the message to. reply-to is meant to direct where you should send "replies to". And in the case of the debian mailing lists, you should "reply to" the list.
