The 'subscribe' command helps 1. if all your mail is delivered to one inbox,
where you can easily see which messages go where, and 2. (MUCH more important,
at least for me) in conjunction with the followup_to variable, it helps mutt
generate a Mail-Followup-To: header when you List-reply or Group-reply.
