I have a dedicated Python script (run from ~/.forward) to do this. It's designed so that simply adding an entry to a config file for a mailing list does everthing that's required:- Directs mailing list messages to a dedicated folder Creates an alias for sending mail to the mailing list Adds the list to 'subscribe' and 'list' in muttrc Does various extras like removing [mailing list name] from the subject line -- Chris Green

Right now I'm using folder-hook +INBOX 'macro index \Cw "T~h \"To: mailing-list\";s\Cu=mailing-list$"' i.e. tag everything "To: mailing-list", then move all tagged messages to "=mailing-list" folder. Which works for a single list. But this looks improper, unreliable, and unefficient (has to purge messages for every list; requires to press Ctrl-W). I tried appending a second "T~h...$" for a different list, but this shuffled message destinations (were it typos, bugs, or whatever). This just seems not to be the intended way. As noted by other people, this is better suited to your MDA (mail delivery agent). Whether that be procmail or mailfilter or sieve or whatever, these are the basic rules that I use: if header "list-post" exists and matches /if header "list-id" exists and matches /<([a-z_0-9-]+)[.@]/ or /^\\s* move it to folder $1 if header "x-list-id" exists and matches /<([a-z_0-9-]+)\./ move it to folder $1 if header "x-mailing-list" exists and matches /\s*([a-z_0-9-]+)@?/ move it to folder $1 if header "x-loop" exists and matches /^\s*(a-z_0-9-]+)@?/ move it to folder $1 if header "from" matches /owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)-outgoing@/ or /owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)@/ or if header "Sender" matches /owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)@/ move it to folder $1 if header "from" matches /([a-z_0-9-]+)-request@/ move it to folder $1 That seems to cover most mailing lists I'm subscribed to and, in case you hadn't worked it out, moves messages into folders based on the mailing list's name. Feel free to adapt to your own needs and implement however you need to depending on your particular MDA. -- For more information, please reread.

I've got a python program that watches my (Maildir) inbox, where the mail system deposits my messages. I files them according to rules from a config file. I just use mutt to visit the places the messages have been filed. -- Cameron Simpson

I'm using screen since a long long time to run multiple mutt instances, each one with a different account, sharing a common .muttrc, and multiple "per-instance" .muttrc. If that sounds interesting, have a look at [1]: A setup similar to mine is described there. If you are in the need of further details, don't hesitate!

Behaviour of viewing an attachment
Hi List. In mutt 1.5.23 (from repo), when I'd like to view a message part in a browser, I'd type "v", view the attachment menu, etc. On mutt from source (1.7.1), that same action won't trigger firefox, but rather keep viewing the attachment using w3m (which is great as a default in the pager, but if I'm already in the attachment menu, it means I'm looking for something extra). I've copied /etc/mailcap to $muttHOME/etc. Here's the debug sequence from 1.7.1 [2016-11-02 08:35:36] Checking mailcap file: /home/guy/.mailcap [2016-11-02 08:35:36] Checking mailcap file: /home/guy/apps/mutt/share/mutt/mailcap [2016-11-02 08:35:36] Checking mailcap file: /home/guy/apps/mutt/etc/mailcap [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:35:36] mailcap entry: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.database; soffice --nologo --base '%s'; edit=soffic and from 1.5.23 [2016-11-02 08:32:52] Checking mailcap file: /home/guy/.mailcap [2016-11-02 08:32:52] Checking mailcap file: /usr/share/mutt/mailcap [2016-11-02 08:32:52] Checking mailcap file: /etc/mailcap [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: [2016-11-02 08:32:52] mailcap entry: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.database; soffice --nologo --base '%s'; edit=soffic any ideas ?
