So here’s the deal : I am tagging with afew, it has a special mailing list filter, which does the right thing - it tags the copy that was delivered from the mailing list with the list name. However (and maybe this is just the Emacs interface?) when I view the message in notmuch-emacs, it only shows one of them, and this seems to be (always? at least usually) the copy that is Fcc’d to my sent folder and tagged only with “sent” because it doesn’t have a list-id yet. So I’m still looking for how to do this “right”. I must not be the only one that sends mails to mailing lists?
