That was my mistake. 2.3.1.1 (3.1.1 within Chapter 2).

I'm unsure of the actual reason for that. One would probably have to
grep hg and find and read the relevant commit log? I've searched the
source, couldn't find anything pointing to reasoning. [1]

In my limited mutt experience (as a user) I believe it was decided that
way as people would probably be more interested in subscribed than known
lists.

Other than material presented in the docs and what I've already said,
I'm clueless on it. :( [1]

I don't have network access as I write this, so I can't grep the online
archives for the post, but my archive has, as one message in that
thread, this message:

,Message-ID: <[email protected]>

I wasn't necessarily aiming to 'lists' or 'subscribe' anything, but
rather to present a more general solution to handling mailing lists. If
you decide to go this route, check a good procmail FAQ and read
procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5).

MDAs like procmail will, though, help you filter mail into different
folders. I'm a procmail newbie myself, and such is offtopic for this
list, so I won't go into that farther here.

[1] Input from someone more clueful would be appreciated, as this is
    beyond my understanding at this point.
