procmail also offers the following advantage: since it processes each message as it comes in, everything's ready when I sit down and type "mutt" (or pine, or whatever). In contrast, it's not much fun to watch my mailreader choke on a couple thousand messages if I've been away for a few days. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics [EMAIL PROTECTED] Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
