Hi Michael -- You said: > ... is it not true that by using mailagent wisely one should be able > to avoid the use of inc altogether?
I've been tip-toeing my way forward with mailagent. My ~/.rules file currently disposes of only a few of the mailing lists I'm on, and only those for which I don't get much mail, and I have already learned from some mistakes I made in it. As you probably know, mailagent places messages that aren't matched by anything in ~/.rules into a mailbox-style file, which must be inc'd in order to be used by MH. Yes, I can now write a ~/.rules file that would automatically move otherwise-unmatched files into +inbox. But the fact that I've now seen mailagent + MH do at least one simple operation in an unexpected and unpredicatble way suggests to me that simply refiling unmatched messages just papers over a flaw which will reveal itself later as a loss of mail. Dubious (but marginally open-minded), Susan
