Perhaps his IMAP server acts as a Usenet gateway -- I've heard of such
setups. But IIRC[1] the mailing list support in Mutt assumes mail from
those lists follow certain conventions -- which header field contains
the list's address and which contains the actual sender's address and
so on. The chances may be slim that his Usenet gateway does this right.

[1] It's surely in the Mutt documentation. I haven't been on any
real mailing lists for many years so I have forgotten the details.
