That wasn't really what I was after. I want all my incoming mail to
arrive in a single mailbox. Most list traffic I read and then delete,
but there's the occasional message or thread that I want to save using
this method.
For the time being I've hardcoded a hook for each mailing list (eg.
save-hook ~Cmutt-users =mutt-users), but it would be better if there
was something like the %0 thing you mentioned so I would only have to
have one rule to achieve this for all mailing lists.
I think mutt's kind of recognising the %0 otherwise it would prompt:
Save to mailbox ('?' for list): =%0
However it's just removing the %0 rather than replacing it by
something useful.
