I don't know if you are aware, but mutt has a great list-reply command
(bound to L by default) which "does the right thing" for mailing lists.
Look up list-reply in the mutt manual.

Being the duffer that I am, I'm very pleased with myself that I came up
with a similar solution (albeit as a function rather than a list
comprehension) :)

You do not need the if statement either,

print [(l[i%len(l)],t[i%len(t)]) for i in range(max(len(l), len(t)))]

Regards

Simon.
