Thank you for the answer! So I understand all email accounts in the same 
domain will have the same phenomena, right? But the strange thing is 
that sounds like only I have the problem.

For example, when others reply an email to mailing list, people will see
"From: others at linux.intel.com" in mutt or "From: 
<example-bounces at example.mailinglist.org> on behalf of 
others at linux.intel.com" in outlook email client.

But they will only see "From: example-bounce at example.mailinglist.org" in 
my reply in both email clients. So I suspect if anything wrong in my 
email configuration instead of a general phenomena?
