Thanks that worked perfectly. Just incase anyone stumbles on this thread later, here's what I ended up doing in my muttrc to help manage email for the netdev kernel mailing list with my gmail account: 1. My company uses gmail for email, so I setup mutt to use gmail for imap and SMTP. There are many guides for this on the internet. 2. Added a "label" in gmail's UI, called "netdev" -- which mutt sees as an imap directory. 3. Added a filter in gmail to filder all emails TO netdev@vger..., skip my inbox and apply the "netdev" label. 4. In my muttrc I added: folder-hook netdev "lists netdev@vger...." folder-hook netdev "color index color94 default ~p" And now when I switch to the netdev directory within mutt (by pressing c), I can easily see any messages that mention my email address in any thread on the list. Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it! - Joe
