I follow a discourse forum but with emails enabled as I am not
comfortable with its web interface.

For the moment, the emails I receive for forum posts appear as addressed
to me (with a + flag) rather than coming from a mailing list (with the L
flag).

At the beginning I thouhgt it was because the emails do not have the
expected List-* headers but they actually do:

List-Unsubscribe: <https://discuss.ocaml.org/email/unsubscribe/...>
List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click
List-ID: OCaml | Learning <learning.discuss.ocaml.org>
List-Archive: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/collaboration-on-ocaml-project-1-claudius-outreachy/16325

Still, it is my personal address which appears in the To: field.

Sébastien, I'm sorry, I gave a bad answer back then, because I misunderstood Mutt's mailing list code. I think I understand it now.

Mutt detects that a message came from a list by comparing addresses in the message's To: and CC: to addresses predefined by command "subscribe" or $auto_subscribe. That doesn't work if the list address does not appear in To: or CC:, which apparently is your situation. I think that's the problem.

I think Mutt should (also) look at List-ID:, which would work here, but currently it doesn't.
