I use Mutt... not real sure about what you mean by 'keep up', but I use Procmail to filter lists I'm subscribed to into there own folders (I use Maildir format instead of mbox). Makes it easy. There's also a plethora of things you can configure in Mutt to make things easier. Like in all my folders for mailing lists, I have a macro setup to mark as deleted any message over 2 weeks old when I enter the folder, except for messages that I've 'flagged' as important. That makes life easier too (and makes threading much more effective since I'm not deleting messages as I read them. =) -- Paul Cox <paul at coxcentral dot com> Kernel: 2.4.7-12.3mdk - Uptime: 8 days 20 hours 41 minutes.
