    The problem here is that attempts at private replies will grab the
list address [0].  The "proper" solution, IMHO, is to set the
Mail-Followup-To header [1].  mutt does this properly when you establish the
list with the "subscribe" command [2].  For instance, for this email
I simply hit "group reply", and since Mike Ledoux's mailer set
Mail-Followup-To, my reply is going *only* to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since
I have told mutt I am subscribed to gnhlug, it will add
a Mail-Followup-To header.

here are less significant, since setting Reply-To in this context is
being proposed on a per-user basis)
