Thanks Ken, Looks like another neat feature I hadn't stumbled across before..
I also found (by trial and error - havn't found it stated in the docs yet) that by using 'lists' instead of 'subscribe' I can get the L command to work without changing the listing format, which is what I initially wanted.. My mutt seems to accept either version of the commands you suggested, which for the 'lists' version gives me: 1156 s 02/09 [ 0] Ken Wahl (1.7K) Re: debian-user and mutt... and for 'subscrube' gives: 1156 sL 02/09 [ 0] Ken Wahl (1.7K) Re: debian-user and mutt... The latter seems to do everything I want... So the bottom line seems to be that the Debian way of organizing a list is superior, so long as you have a suitable MUA and are sufficiently familiar with its features - or know someone else who is ;)..
