Why was it decided to set the flag only for subscribed lists and not
listed lists?
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.
I don't recall the exact reason, but this sounds plausible.
Also, I still don't have a reason for the difference of 'lists' and
'subscribe', other than that it's documented this way, too :)
Other than material presented in the docs and what I've already said,
I'm clueless on it. :( [1]
The reason for the distinction between lists/subscribe is that just because
you received an email that was addressed to a list doesn't mean that you are
subscribed to said list. For the most part you can just ignore the lists
command and use subscribe.
