I want Mutt to Filter out my e-mails into groups.=20 That particular part is fairly easy. If you don't mind, I'll send you to my mutt page at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html which explains about using Procmail. Personally, I think it's a pretty clear explanation of=20 what you'd have to do to get it working. I don't know, however, how to get it to open so that it opens to FreeBSD. However, for example--I have it set so that if I open it, I can see my various mailboxes, and can then arrow down (or pick a number, as they're numbered in sequence) to open that particular box.=20 There's also Xbuffy (the mutt page I gave above gives a link to it) which will, when in X, show you how many messages are in each box. In console mode, it just shows you the size--for example, my In-bsdquestions, with 6 messages shows a size of 22936, nylug with two messages shows a size of 12345 (I'm not making that one up.) :0 After a little while, you get pretty good at judging from that how many (approximately) messages you have. =20 That answers all but the issue of having it open to the bsdquestions mailbox, but it would only be two or three more keystrokes--when it opens I hit 11 for the box and then one or two enters to open it.
