This is what I use (some more handy things in here perhaps :)
--- .muttrc fragment
source ~/mutt.lists|
set ignore_list_reply_to
source ~/mutt.mboxes|
--- mutt.lists
#!/bin/sh
cd mail
echo -n lists
for d in `cut -f1 -d'@' ~/.lists`
do
echo -n " $d"
done
echo
--- mutt.mboxes
#!/bin/sh
cd mail
echo -n mailboxes
for d in * zolder/*
do
echo -n " =$d"
done
echo
Why the fuss, you say? Well.. this .lists file is also in my QMAILMFTFILE
env.variable, which means qmail-inject will send my Mail-Followup-To to these
mailinglists when I mail to any of them.
For the mboxes thing, most of my mboxes are in fact Maildirs so a recursive solution
would require filtering out anything called tmp new or cur.
Hmm i suddenly see a possible optimization in mutt.lists.. but who cares :)
