Hi, Just got back on the list, so a 'Hi' to everyone :-)
On Wed, 16 Jan 2002 Balazs Javor spewed into the ether: > I'am looking for tips/ideas on how to best manage subscriptions > to multiple high volume mailing lists. > > Here's my current setup: [-- snip --] Ok, I'll give you my setup : * procmail archives all incoming mail into folders based on list-name, and year/month. * procmail also dumps all mail into list folder (automagically :-) * I go through each folder, and _delete_ all threads that don't seem interesting. This way, I don't have to bother about Mutt archiving anything, as procmail does it for me. Later, when I have to, I use grepmail to search my archive folders to see if the question I'm asking has come up before. Something I haven't yet done is to setup macros to look for threads older than, say, one week, and remove them automatically when I exit a folder. This will keep the folder size down. Currently I do this manually when I'm feeling bored. > (On a side note: New messages are colored in a different color > in the index fairly easily, but is there a way to color > also the top message of each thread if there are new messages > in the thread, so that it is visible at one glance even if > the treads are collapsed?) You could do something like this : color index red black '~v ~U' # Collapsed and Unread But, the problem is, if the first message in the thread is 'read', the entire thread is marked as 'read'. ie. it doesn't get coloured 'red' (No pun intended ;-) Hope I've been clear enough. pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When you dig another out of trouble, you've got a place to bury your own.
