What I meant was that when you hit G for the default getmail function
that mutt has, it doesn't run it thru procmail,  it just gets it.
So in my keybindings I have :
   #bind   index   G       fetch-mail
   macro   index   G       "!fetchmail<enter>"
   macro   pager   G       "!fetchmail<enter>"

So then when I hit G it will run the program fetchmail instead of using
mutt's version.
If there is a way to route mutt's fetchmail thru procmail,  I'll try it,
but with it set up this way you do get the verbosity  on the screen
though.  "!fetchmail -q<enter>"  may work better, but I just haven't
done it yet.
