Go ahead...

I've lots of files in ~/.mutt. So naming boxes where
procmail sorts mail in like 'IN.localpart_of_listaddress'
makes it easy to distinguish. Also, It makes it a lot easier
to set a the appropriate value for $mask so that only
INboxes are displayed.

And as a side note: I do not name my files like that, that's
the job of my cleanup shell script (which catches names of
subscribed lists from ~/.procmailrc and creates all the
setup for mutt).

Cheers, Rocco
