Any of the Emacs mail reading packages (Gnus, rmail, vm) will do this; they all rely internally on a helper program called movemail, which can be instructed to do exactly what you want. Even if you don't want to use Emacs (but why shouldn't you? :) you can consider installing it just for movemail. -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324, San Francisco, California 94107
