thanks. replacing the aliases in the subscribe list with the real addresses
fixes the problem but i think that's really wierd. "vim" would match anything
starting with vim whether you've stated that it was a mailing list or not.
mutt must be relying on the user only typing L when the user knows it's a
mailing list :) i suppose that's fair enough but flaky. i seem to remember the
doco for subscribe saying that it is used to specify the mailing lists to which
you are subscribed. to me, that means the actual addresses of mailing lists
or aliases for those addresses, not regular expressions that match at least
those addresses.
thanks again,
