I'm wondering if Mutt could be used to present mailing lists in an on-line accessible way somewhat similar to forums, basically by providing a server that people could SSH into and run a remote instance of Mutt for browsing list archives and replying to posts.
The mailbox files would be read-only to all except list moderators, who could use Mutt to fix broken threads, delete dupes, etc. List subscribers could SSH in using a terminal, or Mutt could be displayed in a web browser using an AJAX terminal emulator like ShellInABox... maybe even with some clicky-gui buttons around it. Users would have the option of uploading their own muttrc, but a config file on the server would override certain commands like delete, break-thread, link-threads, etc so they don't even show up as options. Has anyone tried something like this? Does it seem viable? John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact
