I have been running procmail to archive mailing list stuff and sort
mailing list stuff from *real* mail. But I have not figured out how to
leave the regular mail alone. I presently have a default case that puts
all regular mail in a file, and I can set up pine to read that file as the
default inbox. But I'd rather have procmail just deposit the mail (by
default) back into /var/spool/mail/matt (my system box) where I can read
it with any mail tool without customization. However, I fear this will
confuse procmail and send it in an infinite loop. The docs didn't address
this as far as I could see. Anyone know if this is safe, or how it can be
done?
