Umm, I;m still doing something wrong here.
Here is the appropriate section from ~/.mutt/muttrc:
# show the name in my address book if no name given
set reverse_alias = yes
# fix broken mailing list software
set ignore_list_reply_to = yes
set forward_format = "FW: %s"
set index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %?M?(#%03M)&(%4l)? %s"
set sort=threads
set sort_aux=date
###
# Aliases :
# this is where mutt will save new aliases created
set alias_file="~/.mutt/Addresses"
# get my Address book
source ~/.mutt/Addresses
And hee's a sample entry from ~/.mutt/Addresses:
#
# Lists
#
#
alias hpadmin "HPUX Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
subscribe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
alias du "Debian User List"
subscribe

But if I'm in a mailbox that's from a mailing list, and I hit 'L' I get "No
mailing lists
defined"
BTW, I'm still unclear on the difference between "lists" and "subscribe", and I
can have
multiple "lists" entries, right?

You can change this with set folder ="~/mail" # the default location of mailboxes When you hit 'c' you'll be taken to a listing of the files/directories in '~/mail'. If you hit then you'll be taken to a listing of all folders marked as incoming mailboxes. I file all list mail into folders in ~/Mail/lists so this works great for my config : mailboxes "!" mailboxes "=1Inbox" "=2Default" "=system" "=debian_BTS" mailboxes "=lists/1announcements" mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/lists/[a-z]*` HTH, -D -- He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
