Not in my experience. Where does it say that?
Generally, the lists and subscribe commands just add addresses to an
internal list. This list is then consulted for several things. For
example, it is used for the ~l pattern (which, according to the
manual, matches "messages addressed to a known mailing list").
They're also used for things like 'list-reply', which is described in
the documentation like this:
Reply to the current or tagged message(s) by extracting any
addresses which match the regular expressions given by the lists
or subscribe commands, but also honor any Mail-Followup-To
header(s) if the $honor_followup_to configuration variable is set.
Using this when replying to messages posted to mailing lists helps
avoid duplicate copies being sent to the author of the message you
are replying to.
I don't see anything anywhere about only looking in the To: header.
