The downside with using %B for this is that it takes up room on every
line of the index and therefore shoves the tree display (which I do
like to see) even further off-screen. When the list name is embedded
within the subject, it affects only the subject text and not the tree.
Also, once I tell mutt that a list is a list, it marks it as "L" in
the message status flags, which I actually don't want. I find it
easier to pick out special-case messages at a glance when the mailing
list messages have no flags.
I've also got one or two cases where the word I use to mark the list
is not the same as the list address, which I'm not sure is something
that can be done with the existing lists/subscribe mechanism.
