Try sending me something with an attachment, and let's work from there. > I am on quite a few mailing lists and I would like to use mutt to read > them.

(In fact, it's rather subpar IMHO, but I haven't stepped up to the task of recoding it, so I can't complain.) You can change that, of course ;-) > Like, to keep all the messages which have my > e-mail address in them and delete the rest? Mutt can do just that without any special IMAP functionality, though. Have a peek at the folder-hook section of TFM :-) > If yes, can someone please > tell me how do I go about this? I'm sure someone can, but RTFMing is a lot more fun than being spoonfed ;-P > I'm new to mutt and would appreciate if someone could put light on these. We were all new to Mutt at some point. The one thing most of those who know anything have in common, though, is that none of them were spoonfed too much. - Dave BTW - After you're done reading the Mutt manual, you'll probably want to read up a bit [1] about my config [2], which is highly optimized for mailing lists. AFAIK, no other Mutt configuration provides many of the features [3] present in mine.
