You've misunderstood the problem, I'm afraid.  Compare the headers of
these two emails, the second of which was a reply to the former:

List domains changing can often be a bit of a problem.  I think you must
have a stray "lists parted-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org" or "subscribe
parted-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org" in your .muttrc.  Replacing that
with the corresponding @alioth-lists.debian.net should fix the problem.
