mailing list hook

[Ben Fitzgerald]

Hi,

when I configure a list with "lists", list-reply knows to
reply to the mailing list. All great.

When I select a folder for a given mailing list and then
want to mail the start of a new thread, simply hitting "m"
(bound to <mail>) ought, in my mind, to auto-populate the
mailing list.

How can I achieve this with a folder-hook to bind a macro?

I started with a macro but it's mailing to ***@mutt.org

macro index m "<mail>mutt-***@mutt.org"

regards,

In fact the "lists" command is not relevant or necessary for this. List
reply simply selects the address in the List-Post header. I remember I
was confused about this too when I was learning mutt.

I used to have a myhdr command in a folder hook for each mailing list.
But now I find it easier and simpler to just have aliases for them. It
also means I can post to any list from any folder, which makes for a
less "modal" interface.
