Ah.  And I assume you want to see those in your inbox even if they're
not a reply to some other message in your inbox?  I do recall Gmail
suppressing list reflections.

Though I think that, by default, notmuch *will* put your own list
postings in your inbox.  Assuming the list sends the message back to
you (not all do), and assuming your notmuch new.tags contains inbox,
notmuch will simply see it as a new message and tag it inbox.  If you
have Fcc setup in your frontend of choice to save sent messages in a
folder indexed by notmuch, then it should likewise tag the message
inbox as soon as it indexes it.
