That particular part is fairly easy. If you don't mind, I'll send you to my mutt page at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html which explains about using Procmail. Personally, I think it's a pretty clear explanation of what you'd have to do to get it working. I don't know, however, how to get it to open so that it opens to FreeBSD. However, for example--I have it set so that if I open it, I can see my various mailboxes, and can then arrow down (or pick a number, as they're numbered in sequence) to open that particular box. There's also Xbuffy (the mutt page I gave above gives a link to it) which will, when in X, show you how many messages are in each box. In console mode, it just shows you the size--for example, my In-bsdquestions, with 6 messages shows a size of 22936, nylug with two messages shows a size of 12345 (I'm not making that one up.) :0 After a little while, you get pretty good at judging from that how many (approximately) messages you have. That answers all but the issue of having it open to the bsdquestions mailbox, but it would only be two or three more keystrokes--when it opens I hit 11 for the box and then one or two enters to open it.
