i don't use MH, but i've used procmail before. you can simply set a rule in ~/.procmailrc to (re)direct mail to a file. for example: :0 f * ^To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian in this case, the "debian" file resides in MAILDIR, which must be specified in the beginning of .procmailrc (e.g., MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail) the resulting mail file is in no particular format, other than the format initially delivered to your system. considering that i'm fairly new to the Debian set (after being a Redhat user for a while), i'm sure there are other (possibly better ways) to do this, but this has worked for me in the past. hope this helps, --andy -- Andy Kahn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 603-884-2557 (DTN: 264-2557) Digital Equipment Corporation Fax : 603-881-2257 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
