Where did you find this information? I'd like to read it myself. I didn't realize that editing a .procmailrc without having procmail set up through a .forward could get me into trouble ...

I poked at a few of the messages in my mailbox, and none of them seem to have the ident= thing at all. I don't know what that signifies. Are you using fetchmail? What does your .fetchmailrc look like? -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
