There's probably an easier way to do this, but couldn't you use formail to split your digests into individual mails in mbox format and then use another tool to covert those mboxes to maildir?

Re: [gentoo-user] procmail, formail and maildir for digests...
Rasmus: I've had a look at mb2md, and this seems close to what I'd need - though I'm dubious about two aspects: 1.It doesn't seem to have a filter mode (i.e. It always takes file as input as opposed to stdin, which would allow it to slot more neatly into a procmail based solution. 2.The documentation suggests that it is intended to transform whole mbox files into maildir directories - whereas I'd need it to take an mbox file and append it to a maildir directory which would likely already contain messages from the previous digest. Am I missing something obvious (to someone else)? Reader at Newsguy: While I don't really understand why your suggestion should work...I tried it anyway. It didn't work... and delivered the digest to my inbox and to my gentoo folder, but didn't in split the digest. -- From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 11 14:40:21 2006 Subject: Digest of gentoo-user@gentoo.org issue 950 (52678-52727) Folder: .Mailing.Gentoo.ThisMonth/new/1160574057.17594_0.server 161160 procmail: Extraneous filter-flag ignored procmail: Skipped * ^List-Id:.*gentoo-user.gentoo.org procmail: Skipped | formail +1 -ds -- It seems strange that this should be tricky to set-up - procmail obviously intends to address digest splitting and to support both mbox and maildir delivery...

I'm familiar with this procmail recipe: -- :0 * ^List-Id:.*gentoo-user.gentoo.org | formail +1 -ds gentoo_user -- However... I need to use maildir is there a straightforward way to deliver directly to maildir folders with formail from procmail? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here's the procmail recipe I use with maildir folders and the Gentoo lists - I think as long as procmail is setup with maildir support you just need to set your MAILDIR var and use a trailing slash and it knows it'd delivering to a MailDir.
