OK, it's not taken as long as I feared.
If I send a message to the mutt mailing list from the old (version
1.10.1) mutt the headers I see are:-
From: Chris Green <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Cc:
Bcc:
Subject: test
Reply-To:
Fcc: ~/mail/Tm/sentmail
Mix: <no chain defined>
Security: None
If I send a message to mutt from version 2.1.4 of mutt I see:-
From: Chris Green <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Cc:
Bcc:
Subject: test
Reply-To:
Fcc: ~/mail/Tm/sentmail
Mix: <no chain defined>

Both the above are using the following muttrc (somewhat truncated but still
rather long I'm afraid but I have made the my_hdr and send-hook
settings very simple) :-

# Mailboxes (where new mail can arrive), the important stuff hopefully
# arrives in ~/mail/inbox, then we check lists mail, then check other
# mailboxes in ~/mail/In. I don't think anything will ever arrive in
