Mailing list are fine. Everything already goes out and comes in the mutt list folder via folder hooks my receive address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mutt mailing list sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I manage all my mailing lists the same way threading is terriffic. Here are the gory details. Much of my communication is not through mailing lists. As a rule I don't go to a folder to exchange mail with a particular person. I want to keep a record of everything I send. So send gets its own folder. This is nonnegotiable. I want keep a record of everything I receive. I dont want to hand sort that stuff. (maildrop switches destination folders for me just fine, but that is not the kind of data I'm processing.) So all my non-newsgroup inbound goes to 1 folder. That is also non negotiable. I haven't done it yet, but here's what I'm thinking: I'll use perl to scan my sent folder. I'll extract all of the message-ID(ish) headers into a hash whose index is the message-ID and whose data is a linked list of filenames. Now I'll scan my inbound folder for message-ID(ish) headers that match the ones in the hash I've generated (from the sent folder) and plug their filenames into the linked list data structure of the associated message-ID index. Finally, my perl hash will contain all filenames of associated with threads containing at least 2 messages, 1 of which was sent buy me. Now I create hard links to all those filenames in a third maildir directory called conversations. Am I making sense to anyone besides my self? Thanks.
