Quick geek help required: I am changing to mutt from pine. Do I need to use procmail to make mutt sort mailing list mail into separate folders?

TIA!

Edited to add: Yes, I do need to use procmail. That's fine, I'll get it sorted. But where is my mail that was already in folders in Pine? How do I get at that?

Yes. I can send you the bit of my .procmailrc that does this sort of thing if you want?

[taimatsu]

That would be very handy indeed. :) Thank you!

argh, need to go home now, will sort this either tonight or tomorrow! Also, do you want a .muttrc that gives you pine-like bindings?

[taimatsu]

Yes please!

I think Pine puts folders in ~/mail, doesn't it? Mutt uses ~/Mail by default but if you don't already have one of those then you can put

set folder=~/mail

in your .muttrc (or just rename the directory, I guess). When you press "c" to change mailbox, pressing "?" at that point gives you a list of mail files in your folder directory to choose from.
