Here's a patch for the manual.

lists">. In order to take advantage of them, you must specify which addresses
belong to mailing lists.
-It is important to note that you should <bf/never/ specify the domain name
-(the part after the ``@'') with the lists command. You should only
-specify the ``mailbox'' portion of the address (the part before the ``@'').
-For example, if you've subscribed to the Mutt mailing list, you will receive
-mail addressed to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]/. So, to tell Mutt that this is a
-mailing list, you would add ``lists mutt-users'' to your initialization file.
+Specify as much of the address as you need to to remove ambiguity. For

+mailing list, you could add ``lists mutt-users'' to your initialization file.

The ``unlists'' command is to remove a token from the list of mailing-lists.
Use ``unlists *'' to remove all tokens.
