Your question is probably better asked on mutt-dev. (I'm betting you lost half of us here midway through your original message. . .) Your second question is definitely better asked on mutt-dev (or just looked up manually in the source). If you're thinking of less than about 11K addresses, though, rest assured that a gigabyte of VM is way way way way more than plenty. (In case you're curious, that's as many as I had before regexps could be used in subscribe statements. Another interesting result of the same experiment was that Mutt can work with 11K mailing lists.) HTH, - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right? Please visit this link: http://rotter.net/israel
