I *have* tried to sub to the mutt mailinglist, but never get any responce. AFAIK, there is no forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack! thanks muchly, gary mutt forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack! > -- > -Chuck > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
