that'd use ~/.procmailrc if any; if you want procmail to deliver as if msgs were from fetchmail, that's fine - though I'd rather set -Y: % formail -s procmail -Y .procmail/debian-list.rc < Mail/inbox assuming Mail/inbox is in mbox format, of course; if the *.rc is a generic filtering recipes set, you may want to use the -m flag instead: % formail -s procmail -m -Y .procmail/debian-list.rc < Mail/inbox but me careful that debian-list.rc doesn't have a rule that delivers to Mail/inbox ;) -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
