The first thing to come to mind is a procmail recipe to find the hostname component of the m-id and store it in the X-Label: header. X-Label is completely meaningless; it's only there for mutt to be able to display arbitrary header information stored by procmail. :) Use %y (or %?y?%y?, etc) to show it in the index_format. > The other problem I have is that I keep a message archive mirroring > the layout of my folders.

I do this, but instead of having two folders, =foo is a symlink to =Archive/foo-`date +%Y%m` or somesuch. That makes the same folder information occupy both namespaces, and I remake the symlinks each month. It also actually *simplifies* the procmailrc, at the cost of requiring a monthly rotation script. -- -D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSIT University of Chicago
