What he was suggesting (which was so excellent that I forgot that it might not
be a default) doesn't interfere with that.

I suggest using folder-hooks to set collapse_unread on those lists and

folder-hook . 'unset collapse_unread'

to take care of everything else, assuming you've done the sanity-preserving
thing and procmailed those high traffic lists into their own folders:

# Sort away mails from the mutt (mail user agent) mailing list
:0:
* ^TOmutt-users@
muttin
