I'm sure you've all read the man page by now, but (paraphrasing) subscribe includes a "follow-up-to" header with the lists address so that anyone who replies to the message will send it to the list instead of to you. lists does the above but also includes your address so that you will get a copy too. This is useful for posting to a list that you are not subscribed to as you'll get the response. and as regards the "To: debian-user..." in the index view: the index_format key controls the look of the index. it defaults to " ... %-15.15L ... " where 'L' means -- show who its from, unless its to a list, then show the list. This must be useful if you don't sort out your mail into different folders for lists. If you do (like me) and want to actually see who the mail is from (if for example, your trying to ignore the list ethicist for the day) then change the index_format to " ... %-15.15F ... " so that it always shows the "From" instead. I leave it to you to read the fine manual for the rest of the string. A
