Hi I'm subscribed to some mailing lists, they (the mbox files ;-) reside in ~~/Mail/Lists/. I defined in ~/.muttrc: unsubscribe * subscribe `cd $HOME/Mail/Lists/ ; echo *` unlists * lists `cd $HOME/Mail/Lists/ ; echo *` They are expanded to: lists=cygwin debian-announce debian-bsd debian-changes docbook docbook-apps evolution gmx gnome-announce gnucash gnu-screen mutt-users openoffice-announce perl-xml procmail tex-announce vim wm-user xml-rpc zope-announce subscribe=cygwin debian-announce debian-bsd debian-changes docbook docbook-apps evolution gmx gnome-announce gnucash gnu-screen mutt-users openoffice-announce perl-xml procmail tex-announce vim wm-user xml-rpc zope-announce and it works, e.g. when list-replying (Shift-L with my mappings). Then I defined some hooks to tune mutt's handling of "my" mailing list: send-hook ~l "set locale=C attribution='Hi all!\n\nOn %{%a, %d %b %Y}, %n wrote:\n'" send-hook ~l my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fcc-save-hook ~l =Lists/%B They define my (alternate) personality, an attribution and the save place. But none of them (the hooks) work! The fcc-save-hook ist "=mutt-users", but I wanted "=Lists/mutt-users"... and the other both hooks also aren't processed. This is important only when replying to mailing lists, all the mail I receive is processed by procmail and delivered to the right place. Any suggestion? Ciao for now, Dirk P.S.: What is ~l expanded to? -- Dirk Ruediger, Rostock, Germany Let's not complicate our relationship by trying to communicate with each other.
