I use procmail and a custom movemail script to deliver mail directly into
Netscape's mail boxes. There are the following problems:
- writing directly to netscape's Inbox is bad.
- summaries are regenerated automatically if the mailbox is newer than the
summary.
- when regenerating summaries, deleted (but not removed by "compressing")
mail reappears.
Note: This is with netscape v3. v4 works different but since I don't like
the new mail interface, I don't use v4.
