   The two recipes I added yesterday were these:

:0:
* ^TO_ [email protected]
GIS

:0:
* ^Subject: .*[GRASS-user]
GIS

   ... and every incoming message since then ended up in ~/mail/GIS, where I
found them a few minutes ago.

   I think the reason they ended up here was a line in ~/.pinerc that was
directing all messages from Incoming-Mail to ~/mail/GRASS rather than
~/mail/GIS. Why I ever had two files for this I don't know. But, I changed
~/.pinerc to reflect the procmail recipes, and have (for today, anyway)
commented out those recipes just to verify they are the cause of the
problem.

   Amazing how I can dig a hole and fall in without being aware of the
potential trap.

   Thanks, Drew and Michael, for your responses.

Rich
