To a category.

AFAIU, it is possible:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-incoming-email-to-create-new-topics-or-group-messages/62977
https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-reply-by-email-with-pop3-polling/14003

May you point me to the emacs-china post where you asked about this?

I am talking about lurkers - users who do not participate in a thread,
but want to get notified about _all_ the new emails.

Also, participation will only work for the thread branch that is
in-reply to an email send by an unsubscribed user, but not for other
emails in the thread.
