Check out the archives for mutt-dev from last year November. tlr posted
an explanation why the distinction between "known" and "subscribed"
mailing lists would be useful. (I'll fwd it to you in private if you prefer).
While this reasoning may be valid, I never liked the new subscribe
command. I think it's a case where mutt tries to be more clever than
the user. It doesn't even work properly in the general case (how to
deal with ml's as of yet unknown to the user?). And, where there not
some changes wrt generation of the m-f-t header recently, which may
or may not affect teh usefulness of lists/subscribe?
