IIRC, the original purpose was mostly to setup the (not ever ratified as a real standard, and not commonly used now) mail-followup-to header appropriately, that is, if you're subscribed and use "list-reply", the mail-followup-to header gets set to just the list's address, whereas if it's "known" only, it would set m-f-t to your email _and_ the list address when you use "list-reply". Since the draft, from what I can see, expired in 1998, and never became a standard, one could make the argument that it's not really sensible for Mutt to continue supporting it, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ w
mailing list config - two questions
While researching my response in another topic I came across the "subscribe" list that I don't recall seeing previously. I've been using the "lists" list for the same purpose. As I read it, "lists" items are known mailing lists and possibly subscribed to while "subscribe" items mailing lists to which I am subscribed and thus by default are known. When is it useful to have a mailing list to which you are not subscribed "known"? My mutt index typically shows the poster's name. But my own posts do not show my name. This is the situation for other mailing list also, not just mutt-user so I must be composing my header's incorrectly. How should the From:/To:/??? headers be composed so that mutt picks up my name for display in the index? -- Jon H. LaBadie mut...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.
