Okay, I think I understand. :-) I think the misunderstanding was because I am using mutt very differently from you. I have each list I am subscribed to filtered into its own mail box by procmail. I have listed all of these mailing lists in mutt's subscribed setting. I also have status_on_top set and pager_index_lines set to 10. The up shot of all this is that I know which mailing list I am reading because it is listed in the status line. Separate mail boxes for each mailing list just makes more sense to me. :-) Cheers, Nick. -- Please do not CC me on replies, I read the list and don't need the dupes. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
