Well I still think my config file is by *far* the simplest:-

mutt        mutt-users@xxxxxxxx

Not to mention that it provides much more than just the mail filtering
configuration, it does the followiing:-

    My filter.pl script uses it to forward mail To: or Cc:
    mutt-users@xxxxxxxx to a mailbox called mutt.

    A trivial script allows mutt to have the alias 'mutt' for sending
    mail to mutt-users@xxxxxxxx

    And the following lines in muttrc set up lists and subscribe

        lists `awk '!/^#/ {printf("%s ", $2)}' <~/.mutt/lists`
        subscribe `awk '!/^#/ {printf("%s ", $2)}' <~/.mutt/lists`
