Bruno, did you read the objections raised in that link I provided?  I
know how Mail-Followup-To works.  I also understand there are unresolved
problems with it.

My argument was that it was better than not using it. It isn't a perfect
solution.

This will be my last post on the subject, but please consider that MFT
is *not* a standard (and as far as I know hasn't shown up in an RFC
since the late '90s), supported by only a handful of MUAs...  And the
(default), polite course of action has historically been not to CC folks
in mailinglist posts.

I disagree that not cc'ing senders is the default in general. I think it
depends on the kind of list, and the ones I use it is typically preferred
that you cc senders unless they indicate that they shouldn't be using
a mail-followup-to header.
