You can have your .muttrc set up to automatically do this. I have my debian mailing list messages delete after a period of time by adding the following to my .muttrc file. I also have read debian list messages move after I read them... This only means I have to manually enter the old folder for mutt to manage the deletions for me. mbox-hook =spam /home/mperry/oldmail/spamread mbox-hook =debianstuff /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread That moves the read mail to another folder... and then folder-hook /home/mperry/mail/spam 'push D~r>10d!~F\n' folder-hook /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread 'push D~r>30d!~F\n' Here it automatically deletes messages older than 30 days. See the manual (/usr/share/doc/mutt/html) for more info. Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That's when it was compiled. No, it's not the most recent version, go browse through aptitude and you'll see more than one version of kernel-image... -- Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux.
