That of course was the reasoning behind my original posting, I want
the 'configuration' file to be trivially easy to add and remove lists
from and I want it to drive my muttrc requirements as well.

It's still a hell of a lot more complicated than:-
jpilot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
keyring [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnukeyring-discuss
mutt mutt-users@mutt.org
palm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Palm
pyblosxom [EMAIL PROTECTED] pyblosxom-users
... and the above drives my mutt aliases, mutt lists and mutt subscribe
*as well* as my filtering script. (The third optional field by the
way removes those annoying "[<list name>]" insertions in the subject
lines).
I decided to go with my original idea of rewriting the perl filter.pl
in python and I have a working prototype already, it's only 63 lines
and 21 of them are comments. I *do* like Python!
