Re: Non-procmail method of filtering email and bypassing /var/mail/<user> storage?

[Harvey Tokunaga <harvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gunnar,
I've browsed your doc but I don't think it addresses my issues.  

My questions are:
1.  How do I sort emails titled "Subject 1" to archive 1 and "Subject 2" to 
archive 2?  I don't have access to procmail at this time.
2.  How do I avoid sending emails to /var/mail/<user> and, instead, process 
them directly into MHonArc?  It seems that using a .forward file still keeps a 
copy in my Unix mbox.  I know there are methods to remove mbox entries after 
the fact but can I bypass it completely?

Thanks,
Harvey
