linux.debian.user (and for that matter, any of the other newsgroups
this mailing list appears in) may allow posting to them, but does not
send messages to the mailing list, or to any of the other newsgroups
this mailing list appears in.  To post to this mailing list, as well
as any newsgroup this list appears in, send your message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  This is not likely to ever change.  You
don't need to be subscribed to the list to post to it, but don't ask
for private replies, you'll be met with silence and/or likely
inaccurate information without public review.

Why not just specify your editor in .muttrc?
