It's even "easier" :-) I subscribe new mailing lists (and resubscribed old ones) as maex-listname@space.net So I have e.g. maex-freebsd-hackers@Space.Net maex-freebsd-net@Space.Net maex-freebsd-scsi@Space.Net For each of those addresses I create .qmail-listname files that sort it in different mailboxes: .qmail-freebsd-hackers: ./Maildir/lists/freebsd/hackers/ .qmail-freebsd-net: ./Maildir/lists/freebsd/net/ .qmail-freebsd-scsi: ./Maildir/lists/freebsd/scsi/ > > 3. thread topic support > The best threading mail reader that I've come across is mutt, > but that might be too traditional for your option 1. I think mutt works really great with qmail. With the above I have in my .muttrc mailboxes /home/maex/Maildir/incoming \ /home/maex/Maildir/lists/freebsd/hackers \ /home/maex/Maildir/lists/freebsd/net \ /home/maex/Maildir/lists/freebsd/scsi \ /home/maex/Maildir/lists/freebsd/stable # freebsd-scsi ------------------------------------------------------------ folder-hook lists/freebsd/scsi \ 'my_hdr From: "Markus Stumpf" ' save-hook ~hmaex-lists-freebsd-scsi =lists-archives/freebsd/scsi I have switched from ELM to mutt and qmail and with the above setup I have noticed that the time I need for reading my emails dramatically decreased. I have also a .qmail-default file which controls all addresses like maex-anything@space.net that do not have explicit controls files. If I HAVE to use an email address somewhere out in the web e.g., I use addresses like maex-net-access-cnn@space.net If I ever get spam via those addresses I can identify where they got the address from and block/bounce/discard it via an appropriate control file. \Maex -- SpaceNet GmbH | http://www.Space.Net/ | Yeah, yo mama dresses Research & Development | mailto:maex-sig@Space.Net | you funny and you need Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0 | a mouse to delete files D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
