That's interesting.  But it looks like index-format is not per folder, so I 
can't hide the sender in
mailing list messages without doing it for my regular inbox too.  Is this 
right?

Currently I'm using a patched version of the Pine 4.58 from the
Eduardo's page (http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/) which
offers something like "index-rules" feature, where you can define many
different index formats. The help screen says it all:

                                                             OPTION: Index-Rule

    This option is used to superseed the value of the option index-format for
    specific folders. In this form you can have different index-formats for
    different folders. For example an entry here may be:

    _FOLDER_ == {INBOX} => _INDEX_{IMAPSTATUS DATE FROM(33%) SIZE SUBJECT(67%)}

    This configuration option is just one of many that allow you to override
    the value of some global configurations within Pine. There is a help text
    explaining how to define all of them, which you can read by following this
    link.

So I think this is what you are looking for. ;)

Regards,
Murphy

You can also do this using the "Other" rules, press M S R O to set up one.
It's not as flexible as my patch, but for most needs works well. However,
for this problem I think that the best solution is to use the patch, since
it can be used to remove text from the subject when displaying the index
(take a look at the TRIM and REXTRIM tokens).
