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.
