Yeah pretty much got the picture - run procmail on the inbox - have a look at whats left there - tweak the promail recipies - run agin until nothing is left...
By then I should have woked out just about every rule I'm ever likely to need.


: )
Maybe procmail returns a differnt result if it doesn't get a match - this could be used - I go and invetigate...


Ta,

Maybe I'm confused (usually am :), but it sounds to me like you want to
filter a maildir "in place", moving stuff that matches the recipes but
leaving the rest of the messages where they are. If so, I don't _think_
that's possible. But... I'm clueless about procmail and mail in general
- so I could easily be wrong. (I hope someone else jumps in...)

So, the closest thing I can suggest is just obvious: shove a copy of
your mail through procmail... tweak your ~/.procmailrc if necessary, and
repeat until sick of it :)
