Are you sure the mbox.sgk has all the messages? If you route them via sendmail (or smail or whatever MTA you have), it may take a few moments for them to arrive. I think popclient automatically routes them via sendmail, but I haven't checked. "mail -f mbox.sgk < /dev/null" is an easy way to check the contents of a mailbox, or use "from -f mbox.sgk" if you wimpy. My own setup does not make the mails go via sendmail, but pipes them directly to procmail. Actually, not directly, but one by one: formail -b -s sh -c < $temp \ "/home/liw/bin/qpdecodemail | /usr/bin/procmail /home/liw/.procmailrc; sleep 2" ($temp is the mailbox, qpdecodemail is my stupid filter to remove all quoted-printable encodings from mail) > Another confusing point is that even though my ~/.mh_profile says > inc: -norpop -truncate -audit audit-file > the file mbox.sgk is not zero'd after I fetch the files in it. As far as I can tell, what happens is that inc first read the profile, and sets -truncate. Then it reads the command line, and -file automatically sets -notruncate. If you have both -truncate and -file in the profile, the file is truncated. -- Rural sizes win <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.iki.fi/liw/> Please don't Cc: me when replying to my message on a mailing list.
