However a quick summary of the concepts to show people just how unbelievable useful they are.

I would also quite like a rundown on procmail too :-)

I think it is a little difficult to cover this with the multitude of
email clients about. they all filter differently.

many people are even reading them in *gasp* winders machines.

me, i am an advocate of keeping my mail on an imap machine and filtering
it once via procmail. The client's filtering system doesn't get a look
in. then i can access off any client on any machine, or over the web
using squirrel, and the mail is all sorted the same way. However even
the setup for procmail is subtly different depending on the imap server
software.
