An alternative, which may or may not help with other aspects of
managing your mail, is to reorganize your mail folders.  For example,
if you made Mailinglist a directory rather than a prefix, you could
set folder = ~/$YOUR_MAIL_ROOT/[email protected]/Mailinglists
and then add a Mailboxes for mutt-users and your other mailing lists.

If you had a number of these folders for different providers, you
could perhaps use a macro to change the value of folder.  Or, it may
be simplest to forgo using a deep directory tree entirely and just put
all your mail folders in the same mail root directory.
