This doesn't make any sense. If you're subscribed to a mailing list, you will see everything sent to it.

Mailing lists are about organization, not content. If I'm on a 20 person team, there will be threads I'm interested in, and threads I'm not interested in. A mailing list doesn't make it easy to ignore the stuff I don't care about.
