reply to author VS. reply to list on this list.

I can't echo Lorenzo's comments enough about the 'List reply' function
in mutt.  I don't know of any other mailer to provide this
functionality.  Basically, it allows you to reply to a list regardless
of how the list is configured.  Plus it does *NOT* send out two copies
like many other mailers do.  This is different from a "reply all" or
group reply rfunction.  It sends *ONLY 1* message to the list itself.
You only need to add the list's address to your .muttrc for list
subscriptions and you're good to go.  I *LOVE* this feature of mutt!
