They are interesting not only for Gmail[1], but also for other kinds of 
setups. As far as I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), 
currently notmuch treats multiple copies of a message similar to Gmail 
(indexes one, but ignores the rest), which is why I'm *not* receiving 
any mailing lists on my Gmail account.

Besides that consider also that I'm subscribed to about 40 mailing 
lists, each sorted to it's own folder by rules based on List-Id (which 
notmuch doesn't support yet as far as I know). This separation is very 
useful for my read-flow.

However, there are messages crossposed to several lists. It would be 
great if notmuch or (more probably) a client using notmuch could mark 
all copies of a message as read in all folders, but still keep it there 
(otherwise the thread in the respective folder is incomplete).

[1] yes, this is probably one missing feature that prevents me from 
putting my Gmail account in notmuch as well.

Kind regards,
Andrei
