I think you must misunderstand something in what I said. I'm talking about ways to get visual cues for the list origins of emails. The fact that the "subscribe" setting in .muttrc allows the display to show the list's address (the "To:" address) instead of the sender's address (the "From:" address) is a means of achieving that. That's not the best way, in my opinion, to make the list association of an email clear, but it's the way the "subscribe" setting does it. -- 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."
