False. Example: Mutt is a widely used MUA that honors Mail-Followup-To.

Mutt is not "widely used" compared to Microsoft Outlook, Netscape/Mozilla/
Thunderbird, etc.

Do you have a reference to back up this claim?

There is <http://gmane.org/user-agents.php>, which do suggest that
Mutt is comparable to Outlook/Mozilla/Thunderbird.

The corpus on gmane.org is slanted towards technical mailing lists,
though.  Similar studies for different user groups would be useful.
