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?

Do you seriously doubt that in the general population that usage
of MS Outlook is not at least several orders of magnitude greater
than that of mutt?

Anyway, there is http://www.terena.nl/library/multiling/ml-mua/mua-statist.html
which is a bit old. Nevertheless, mutt is way down on the list,
below Juno's proprietary MUA.
