You may need to configure the mailing lists in your .muttrc file. I used to have this done, but the mutt I have now doesn't seem to require it. Here's the entire contents of the .muttrc file I used back when I needed it. (I found it on a backup -- always keep backups) subscribe debian-user subscribe fom.cs.nyu.edu subscribe monotone-devel subscribe smarteiffel.loria.fr subscribe m3devel subscribe tunes.tunes.org subscribe plt-scheme.list.cs.brown.edu subscribe stratego.cs.uu.nl subscribe debian-testing.lists.debian.org Maybe this helps? There seems to be some way of abbreviating list names that I don't fully understand yet -- and probably never will, now that I don't seem to need it. -- hendrik > There is nothing incorrect in my headers as far as I know, but I do > use a 'Reply-to:' to make sure that mail goes to my mailbox rather > than just back to wherever I happened to originate a message from... And that's what other mailing lists fuck up -- they mung the reply-to header to point to themselves, with the result that it may no longer be possible to reply personally to the original poster. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
