is it possible to auto-detect mailing list?
Most mailing lists emails have several sepecial headers, for example, "Mailing-List" and "X-Mailing-List". Is it possible to mark those emails as subscribed (as if we have used `subscribe l...@address.org' in .muttrc), such that there is a 'L' flag showing up in the index? Yubin

If you fetch mail through a mail filing program such as procmail you could recognise these as they come in and add new lists to your muttrc as they are seen. Cheers, Cameron Simpson

My immediate first thoughts (without much effort) would be to search for the relevant headers. If found, check against a "subscribed" file. If the mailing list doesn't already have an entry, add it. Perhaps procmail and sed would be useful for the purpose. The subscription file could be sourced by .muttrc. Of course, changes won't be reflected until mutt is restarted.

Hello Yubin, not a real answer unfortunately, but I guess the main reason this has not been implemented is because there are two commands in mutt, `subscribe` and plain `lists`, and deciding which-is-which cannot be done by simply checking the headers -F
