How about exmh? Requires tcl & mh or nmh. Works absolutely wonderfully with procmail, and you can have mail delivered to its folders as it arrives. You do this by piping mail into rcvstore. One thing: rcvstore does not lock folders, so you must use procmail locking. As it's a wrapper for mh/nmh, you can, at a pinch, use mh/nmh from the commandline on occasion. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
