Unfortunately, what I'd like is a way to visually mark messages as originating from a specific mailing list. Separating them into a bunch of "folders" just reduces the likelihood I'll get to all my email in a given day. I appreciate the attempt to help, but it doesn't address my actual preferences. I fully expect that there isn't really an answer aside from using mutt's list subscription functionality, which unfortunately overwrites the name or email of the original sender in the diplay. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Ben Franklin: "As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously."
