I *tried* to reply off list, but I now realize I did not. It seems I can't reply off-list anyway, since the list is altering the Reply-To, making it impossible for me to determine where I should reply to the user.
Can we get this rather scary and dangerous privacy issue fixed?
There are two kinds of MUAs. Some invoke reply to the mailing list by the "reply" and others by the "group reply/all" option. If the MUA invokes the mailing list reply by the "reply" option, it should provide a "reply to sender" option, as e.g. Claws Mail and Sylpheed do. The drawback of this approach is, that if you disabled to receive duplicated mails by the mailman settings, you need to care about the missing mailing list headers. If you use an MUA such as Evolution, that does invoke the mailing list reply by the "group reply/all" option, then "reply" will send a private message and not send to the list.
I suspect your MUA "User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.23.1-rc1 (2014-03-12)" can be set up to your need too. If not, consider to use another MUA.
I'm using mutt too. It prompts me whether to reply to the "Reply-To" address. Saying no, mutt will reply to the sender. I have "set edit_headers=yes" in muttrc, so when I edit the mail, I see the headers, and can edit them :-) -- Best regards, lilydjwg
