This one feature in particular is very nice.  I wonder if you can make
it so you can subscribe in the sense of being an approved sender but not
in the sense of getting copies sent.

A read-only IMAP/JMAP server might also be nice, especially if it could
mark messages as read/replied-to/marked like this.  But yeah, the web
interface is not limited by IMAP/JMAP and can do so much more.
