True, but in this *particular* case, Jim's solution (which is very similar
to mine, FWIW) is a bit more forgiving.  

In answer to Bill's previous question, I have "linux-list" as the subscribe
entry, but when I hit "L" on this message, it picks up not only the
"linux-list at ssc.com" I'd configured for, but the
"linux-list at linuxjournal.com" from the List-ID and tries to send to them
*both*... obviously, this isn't what I wanted... 

Mutt 1.5.13  on Debian Sarge, FWIW.  (I think that's a backport.)
