Okay, I think I understand. :-)

I think the misunderstanding was because I am using mutt very
differently from you.  I have each list I am subscribed to filtered into
its own mail box by procmail.  I have listed all of these mailing lists
in mutt's subscribed setting.  I also have status_on_top set and
pager_index_lines set to 10.  The up shot of all this is that I know
which mailing list I am reading because it is listed in the status line.

Separate mail boxes for each mailing list just makes more sense to me.
:-)


Cheers,
       Nick.
