Ugh, not sure I could handle that. I like having fine-grained control over what I read :) > and some lists you only visit sporadicly. Read in threaded mode.

I have a default limit set to only show new mail; reading mail involves scanning the folder's subjects once, and when I leave it, the old mail gets hidden and after about a week, archived. Even busy lists only take a few seconds to scan using PageUp. I get about 750 mails a day, and this setup works fine to keep on top of my mail without having it take hours to read it. 90% of my time in mutt is probably in vim editing replies :) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aagh.net/ - Fat people of the world unite, we've got nothing to lose!
