Or, if you're using a $HOME/.forward, you can 'forward' mail to
yourself by using \ to inhibit the forwarding. So .forward would
look like this (if your local address is david)
\david,|/usr/bin/procmail
instead of just
|/usr/bin/procmail
Probably Jeff's way is more manageable, but the mine works if procmail
is missing/broken.
