Yes, looks that way.

I haven’t tested it, but I don’t think muting will work here anyway since the recipients email address is used in the `To` header.

But maybe changing the `List-Unsubscribe` header would be an option?  
Currently it (always?) links to [Discourse Meta - The Official Support Forum for Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences) which isn’t really helpful if I just want to stop tracking a specific topic.

**Feature request:** When a mail is sent because I’m watching a topic the `List-Unsubscribe` header should link directly to (the bottom of) the topic so that I can easily change the tracking state of the topic. When a mail is sent because I’m watching a category the link to the preferences is fine.
