#180464 — mutt & maillist digests

I'm running Debian Wheeze on a P3 1/2M memory. Mostly CL.
Mutt 1.5.21 is the culprit ( or am I? )
    I subscribe to mailing lists in digest form.
Mutt recognizes the fact when I'm viewing a Debian User digest but not
when I'm reading a 'help-bash' digest from gnu.org. The difference
that's got me is that when I open a DebUser digest I can enter 'v' and
mutt separates the messages so I can respond on list to a particular
message. The help-bash digest doesn't get split like that by mutt so
if I want to reply to a particular message mutt will put the whole
digest into the reply for me to delete all that doesn't apply to the
message I want to send.

Is there a configuration I'm missing?
Is there anything I can do to tell mutt that the messages from
help-bash are to be treated as a mailing list digest?
Thanks,
Mike

Perhaps the 'help-bash' digest does not use MIME.

Or perhaps you didn't subscribe to the MIME version if it exists. On
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bash
IIRC the digest "radio button" selects only the non-MIME version.
To get the MIME one you have to go down to the section ridiculously
labelled:

Help-bash Subscribers
(The subscribers list is only available to the list administrator.) 

and press:

Unsubscribe or edit options

Some non-MIME list digests scrub the attachments and give links to
see them, which don't work. BTW I've never received a reply to any
email sent to webmasters@gnu.org about any of their lists/problems.

Cheers,
David.

Thanks David.
Your directions were clear, concise and accurate.
'help-bash' traffic goes in spurts and though I made the changes in my
subscription the day you posted I only today got confirmation.
Blessings,
Mike
