they're both daunting. i'm a vim fan, have been since i got
talked out of elvis a year back...
but this is a free OS, right? use whichever editor you like. or
write your own.
and back on topic, sorta, i to struggled with those procmail
voodoo recipes until i found exim's .forward filtering -- much
more understandable:
# Exim filter
logfile $home/.forward.log 0600
if error_message
then
save Mail/error
logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n
Folder: error $message_size"
finish
endif
# --------------
# paypal payment
#
if $return_path contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
then
save Mail/paypal
logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n
Folder: paypal $message_size"
finish
endif
# --------------------
# checking system logs
if foranyaddress $h_to:,$h_cc: (${local_part:$thisaddress} is
"root")
then
save Mail/root
logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n
Folder: root $message_size"
finish
endif
etc etc etc. much more clean, no? (of course, this requires
getting exim up and running, but once it's configured it chugs
along like a champ!)
(and the logwrite stuff is so i can still use the "mailstat"
facility to see how many messages went where.)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #75 from USM Bish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Do you want to have MUTT IGNORE PGP-SIGNED MESSAGES? To have
mutt to *not* verify PGP-signed messages, you can shut it off
by including
set pgp_verify_sig = no
in your ~/.muttrc Or you could use:
set pgp_verify_sig = ask-no
to have mutt prompt you each time a signed message comes up,
with the default being not to verify.
