List-Post is always used when the list-reply function is invoked.
There is not configuration option to disable that.
It's not my .muttrc, it's just one list that I subscribe to which has
two addresses. Only one address ever appears in List-Post: but the
alternative address sometimes appears in To: or Cc: headers, thus there
can be messages with the following:-
List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]>
Cc: [email protected]
Since I have [email protected] in 'subscribes' and 'lists' mutt will
reply to *both* [email protected] and [email protected]
when I hit L[ist reply].
Mutt doesn't have any way for the user to let it know about
mailing list aliases, so when you invoke list-reply it pulls out
all addresses which match, along with List-Post.
I *think* I may be able to fix the problem by removing [email protected]
from subscribe/lists but it's not ideal because I also need to know that
messages sent to [email protected] are messages to the list.
What I was really complaining about was that mutt uses the List-Post:
header and that this *isn't* as documented.
