Someone else mentioned this, I was happy with the script, I never said
I had a clue. :)
I've modified it since to check content-type: for multipart or html, and
then kill it unless my address is in To: or Cc:
As for the list, I opted not to subscribe. I read it off usenet using
slrn.
To reply I hit 't', Highlight "To: debian-user@lists.debian.org"*,
hit 't','r'.
When gvim opens I type ':1<CR>O', middle click, '<ESC>jdd'
Less convenient than hitting 'f', but I don't have to contend with
several hundred emails a week. Okay, I didn't have to until someone
decided it might be fun if the latest virus harvested emails from
the debian archive on usenet.:(
* the header is X-Reply-To. BTW, should I be leaving the To address as
it appears, I believe the list gets emailed to subscribers, or people
like me read the archives on usenet, I don't see any need to reply to
an individual under normal circumstances.
