Hi Sridhar,

There are two problems with using mutt to view mime encoded digests
without splitting:
1. no subject lines
2. replying to individual mails

Sometime back I had suggested to Thats the following to be added to
list FAQ. I don't know if it has made the mark, but here it is anyway:

Q. I am receiving digests from the list. I want to split these digests into
individual mails (to make use of my MUA's threading, mailing list,etc.
capabilities). I have in my .procmailrc:
    :0
    * ^TOlinux-india-help
    | formail +1 -ds >> lih
But the digests are not being split (they disappear and are not in any
mailbox). How do I split the digests?

A.  By default digests from majordomo2 are MIME encoded digests, ie. each
post in the digest is a MIME attachment. In this form formail is
unable to split digests into individual mails.
What has to be done is to ask for inline text digests. This is done by
sending 'set linux-india-help digest-text' in the body (not the subject) of
an email to  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
