if you want to check what header fields this mailing list sends, check
some email with:

  :unignore *

I use these:

  :0
  * ^List-Unsubscribe:.*mutt-announce-request@mutt\.org
  list/mutt-announce_at_mutt.org

  :0
  * ^List-Unsubscribe:.*mutt-users-request@mutt\.org
  list/mutt-users_at_mutt.org
