Hi,
For the guy who was talking about procmail & patches,
(& whose email adr. I have lost)

I offer: /usr/ports/mail/popclient/patches/patch-aa

This patch prepared by Julian Stacey <jhs@FreeBSD.Org>
after some advice from <gj@freebsd.org>

BTW I agree the above needs review/enhancement, but it's 
succesfully dloading all my mail,
BUT I do it via a 
	cd $HOME
	MBOX=mbox.`date +%y_%m_%d_%H_%M`
	popclient -3 -v -p -o $MBOX my.drop.host
	cat $MBOX >> /var/mail/jhs
	rm $MBOX
	echo Starting $HOME/bin/procmail.sh
	.....
I havent got the direct pipe/append whatever working <shrug> :-)
