I've seen the same advice. Usually, it suggest changing the address so it is more difficult for software to figure out it is an address. I don't know of any option in mutt that would allow this to happen automatically. The advice is in files from years back and refered to news groups. You're right about the info still being in the headers. Unless the list software removes it before archiving, you can get the info by searching the archives of a list. Basically, I don't worry about it. All my addresses have been around long enough that I will get spam on all of them. I just make sure to teach my spamassassin to =E4ssassinate" any new spam, make sure my mail server can't be used by spammers, and go on about my life. Hope this helps.
