I use pine and decided to keep my incoming in usr/home/$USER/inbox because I want to make sure I read it all anyways. Then I enabled the pipe command in setup-config [ [X] enable-unix-pipe-cmd ] after reading mail I <|> and it comes up: -- Pipe message `#' to :[] ^G Help ^W Raw Text ^R With Delimiter ^C Cancel Ret Accept ^Y Free Output -- I ^R, and then procmail(only needs to be done the first time)<ENTER> and delete to move to the next one. I know It's not as automated as it can be but, control freak that I am, I prefer it :) [.. .procmailrc ..] #Set on when debugging VERBOSE=off #Replace `mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm uses Mail) MAILDIR=$HOME/mail #Directory for storing procmail log and rc files PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log #INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists [.. .procmail/rc.maillists ..] [.. clip ..] :0: * ^Sender:.*owner-questions@freebsd.org IN.freebsd-questions [.. /clip ..] ps it took me a while to figure out to use the Sender: field to have a consistant string to sort by. I have them turned on in the reader just for my own paranoia :) _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.
