Russ, although I did install mess822, I decided that for now, I would
use the "improper" way, that is to actually use my already rather large
~/.procmailrc file.  I just added the following to the end of the file:

:0:
$HOME/Mailbox

And created a ~/.qmail file that contains just this single line:

| preline procmail

For now, this works just fine for me.  Later, when I'm through figuring
out how to do all of the things I use to with sendmail, then maybe I'll
go back and try to figure out how to implement all of my procmail mappings
in ~/.qmail.

I thank you for your assistance, and your gracious willingness to help all
of us Qmail newbies.

Thanks  /  Ray
