That's pretty standard behavious for a group reply or reply-all. > A and B are not supposed to read my remarks, and I sometimes forget > to remove them (no need to do it when list-replying other people' > messages).

You probably don't have much choice this time, because: > I don't know if this is relevant: the list is not a real list with > appropriate headers, and most of the people use poorly-designed MUA > (no Mail-Followup-To, etc.). It's extremely relevant; indeed, it's why it doesn't behave the way you'd like. Without the ^List-* headers, there's nothing for Mutt to know for sure what it ought to be responding to without human intervention. Without that, though, there is no real (consistent) way for code to know the difference between a mailing list post or a single message from someone. If it could, well, it'd almost certainly pass a Turing test and that might not be what you'd want in your MUA.
