Dear Slug,
I'm using procmail to filter my mail into mailboxes and I use it in
conjection with formail to split mailing list digests into separate
messages. I use mbox format mailboxes. This mostly works ok except that
frequently the new messages are appended to the mbox file without any
spaces between the new message and the tail of the old file. This
confuses Evolution terribly and Pine can't recognise the start of a new
message either. An example of what happens is:
--__--__----
--138.25.7.4.38.11098.1036331222.136.15478
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-description: Digest Footer

My .procmailrc has this entry for the slug list:
:0:
* ^Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
| formail +1 -ds >>Slug/mbox
# To break the slug digest into individual messages
Any advice for this annoying problem would be appreciated. I'm tired
of editing my mboxes to make things right again.
TIA
Tim
