Wouldn't it be easier to use mutt's builtin support for mailing lists?
Add the line
subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<plus other lists you're on, naturally>
somewhere in your .muttrc, and then use L for "reply-to-list"...
I _think_ this setup will even respect the mail-followup-to header and
automatically cc people when they have that header set (not sure,
though).
Cheers!
