That's true, mutt requires further commands to get that right - I have a
shell script that generates all the proper headers according to the
mailing list folder. Pine handles that gracefully (with minimal user
intervention)? If so, I'll take another look at it. I haven't tried it
since... 2001? I think that's right.

Thanks for the tip.

I haven't used IMAP for mail in a while, found it to be a bit too much
trouble for a server that serves 12 members. However, when I did IMAP
was a pain no matter what software I used, so that might not be the best
example. Oh well, off to play with pine. ;]
