  I am envisioning a procmail work-a-like program that runs on an IMAP
client machine, but accesses and stores mail on an IMAP server.

  Basically, imagine a person who:

  - Wants or has to keep his mail on an IMAP mail server
  - Cannot run procmail on the server
  - Wants the filtering capabilities of procmail

  One of the ideas behind IMAP is to separate mail storage from the mail
client.  This fits in that puzzle somewhere.

  Bingo.

  Paul likes exmh, and MH clients and IMAP do not mix, so he would have
little use for such a tool, I am sure.  His post was just a catalyst for my
idea.

  Cool!  I'm sure Paul has already scheduling you for a meeting
presentation.  ;-)
