I have not tried this. Confirmed. > But the first feature, "showing mailing lists in index" only works with > "subscribe"d lists. It does not work with "lists"ed lists. Why? That's intentional.

From how I read it, it by itself doesn't show what list it's sent to (as you stated above you need %L in $index_format for that), but it does request something that I've been looking for: ability to use regexes with List-* headers, or perhaps even arbitrary headers, in 'lists' and 'subscribe' commands. In the thread referenced in my last reply, a kludge was found, but only worked on Debian lists and involved running a shell command. I have no idea how hard it is to add a feature like that, but some would propose that a feature like that is better to be in a MDA like procmail. I'd offer to implement it myself, but it's still Beyond My Ken at this point. This, actually, is how I learn about stuff: answering questions for others, or at least trying to, will eventually get me in a position where I really grok the source and documentation. -- _ Brian Ryans 8B2A 54C4 E275 8CFD 8A7D 5D0B 0AD0 B014 C112 13D0 .
