Is the subscribe command good for anything?
I use mutt 1.2.5, and read a few mailing list. I also use automatic filtering of my mail to put it all in the appropriate mailboxes. And I'm wondering what the subscribe command in mutt does, other than showing what mailing list the mail was sent to rather than who sent it. Since each mailing list goes in its own mailbox, I already know the mails were sent to the mailing list in question, and would much rather see who sent the mail. So, does the subscribe command have any actual use, or is it just there to annoy? Even if I tell mutt "unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]", the list-reply command still works. -- smund Skjveland ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) PGP signature

The 'subscribe' command helps 1. if all your mail is delivered to one inbox, where you can easily see which messages go where, and 2. (MUCH more important, at least for me) in conjunction with the followup_to variable, it helps mutt generate a Mail-Followup-To: header when you List-reply or Group-reply.

Re: Is the subscribe command good for anything?
In addition to what Peter said, I will add the following :
I use filters the same way as you. I modified the display variable so
that instead of seeing the list address I see the sender's address.
~~
# sorting for lists
folder-hook lists.* set sort=threads ; set sort_aux=date ; \
set index_format="%4C %Z%{%b%d} %-15.15F(%41) %s%| "
# display the "From" not the list in index view
~~
By putting this in my .muttrc, I also get the list mail sorted by
threads. (All my lists go into =lists/list_name)
HTH,
-D
(BTW, the index_format is only 1 (or was it 2) characters different
than the default, the docs on the web site explain it and the various
options)
