Hum, but then, how "MH" knows about new messages ? I think I am
missing something. Does inc just store messages and nothing else
or does it do some other stuff (such as updating a "database of
new mails") ?

Problem is I am not sure how procmail and mh can cooperate. Do
you have any procmail examples ?

Once again, thank you for clarifying things to me :)
