use the file locking that goes along with your system?!

well - are you using mh folders?

"delete=no" means "never delete anything".
check your logic!

you want "delete=yes" which means "yes,
delete those message and DONT ASK ME".

not possible - unless the current mailbox happens to
be the first in the current ordering of mailboxes.

no - the problem is the missing reference
which is a problem with the $@#$ mailers.
now, you *might* come up with a filter rule
to use this info to fix the references
but this won't help anyone else, will it?
i suggest to hack the host of the
offender and delete his mailer.

fix the locking, pal!

you can group this stuff and have it used with
all files for which filetype mail applies..
easier to type, too. ;-)
