Mutt fix -- metoo unset but not working

While using mutt you reply to a message using "global reply" and you notice your email address is included in the To: or Cc: of the headers. You have two options if you want to stop or disable this behavier.
Option 1: In the .muttrc file make sure the metoo directive is unset:

# Do not include my email in the reply
  unset metoo

If you find that the metoo directive _is_ unset, but your email address is still included in the To: or Cc: then you need to make sure mutt knows what your current email address is. This problem is common on OpenBSD installs of mutt from package or source form.
Option 2: In the .muttrc file set the "alternates" directive to your current email:

# Our email address (fix for global reply metoo)
## Mutt v1.4
  set alternates=emailname@host.org

--OR--

## Mutt v1.5
  alternates emailname@host.org
