You're welcome. One thing I didn't mention but should have. I
don't know if you use exmh or any other MH/nmh mailer that uses
the "unseen" sequence to keep track of unread mail. If so then
you'll want to be sure that you use the MH/nmh rcvstore program
to deliver each message and NOT use procmail's built-in MH/nmh
delivery.
For example, use this:
:0 w :inbox/.lock
| /usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +inbox
and NOT this:
:0 w :inbox/.lock
inbox/.
Either one will successfully deliver the message into the
MH-style folder named "inbox" but only the first one will update
the unseen sequence for you.
