Yes. Here is what I do. I have a separate folder for each list to
which I'm subscribed and a folder-hook for each of those lists. I
also use aliases to expand the list name to the full address of the
list.
Here are the hook and alias I use for mutt-users:
folder-hook +Incoming/mutt-users \
'macro index M "<mail>mutt-users^M^M" "mail to list"'
alias mutt-users mutt-users@mutt.org
Note that the "^M" is an ASCII carat followed by an ASCII upper-case
M.
With that, I type M to send a new message to the list and the first
prompt I see is for the Subject.

Gary
