Thank you for all your suggestions how I might achieve the old behavior
with Mutt that I had with Gnus. They are very useful. But it's not
what I was looking for, that would be continuing war^H^H^HGnus with
other means.
What I'm looking for is some suggestions on how else I might organize my
mail, that fits more with what Mutt offers. I think most of you face
the same basic situation as I do:
- Receive personal mail and mailing list mail.
- Have different strategies for handling mail depending on the address
they were sent to (some mailing lists are less important than most
personal mail, so we don't check for new mail there as often).
- Want to archive a large portion of mail.
- Want to have an overview of messages that still need action of some
type.
- Don't want the archive to interfere (too much) with this overview.
Right? So what do you do?
