That's because newsgroups are a much better way of handling the type of discussion groups that mailing lists are commonly used for, and indeed is what newsgroups were developed for. Unfortunately they never really caught on in this way. If gmane doesn't carry the list you're interested in you could always set up your own mail<->news gateway and keep your slrn interface to the rogue group. But, this is all way off topic for the list, so I'll shut up now. :) Cheers, Tom -- Mr. Cole's Axiom: The sum of the intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

After pressing 'c', you can use '!' to go to what mutt considers your "inbox" ($spoolfile), and '=' or '+' to go to $folder. If you have $folder set as ~/Mail, mutt will start there without you passing '-f ~/Mail'. I've noticed you using ~/mail and ~/Mail at different times, which is it? What does dovecot think it is? What does mutt think it is? Cheers, Tom -- He looked at me as if I were a side dish he hadn't ordered. -- Ring Lardner signature.asc Description: Digital signature

My immediate first thoughts (without much effort) would be to search for the relevant headers. If found, check against a "subscribed" file. If the mailing list doesn't already have an entry, add it. Perhaps procmail and sed would be useful for the purpose. The subscription file could be sourced by .muttrc. Of course, changes won't be reflected until mutt is restarted.
