On Wed, May 25, 2005 at 01:46:59AM +0100 or so it is rumoured hereabouts, 
Paul Jakma thought:

Here's my results.  I used 'r' to send this message.

Mutt V. 1.4.1

Using 'r' (reply to sender):
Reply to ilug at linux.ie,...? ([yes]/no):	'n'
To: Paul Jakma <paul at clubi.ie>

If I say 'no' to the reply-to question, it goes to the 'From' address.
Note the "ilug at linux.ie,...?" multiple addresses in the "Reply to"
question.

Using 'r':
Reply to ilug at linux.ie,...? ([yes]/no):	'y'
To: ILUG list <ilug at linux.ie>, paul at hibernia.jakma.org

If I say 'yes' it goes to both.

--------------------
Using 'g' (reply to all):
Reply to ilug at linux.ie,...? ([yes]/no):	'n'
To: Paul Jakma <paul at clubi.ie>
Cc: ILUG list <ilug at linux.ie>

If I say 'no' it goes to the 'From' address and is CC'd to the 'To'
address

Using 'g':
Reply to ilug at linux.ie,...? ([yes]/no):	'y'
To: ILUG list <ilug at linux.ie>, paul at hibernia.jakma.org

If I say 'yes' it goes to both.

---------------------
Using 'L' (reply to list):
To: ILUG list <ilug at linux.ie>

It goes only to the list.  There is no option to reject that address and
choose another (apart from the normal editing capability).

I use 'L' for mailing lists...

Mutt's "Reply to list 'L' " option has you stumped anyhow...
