The pithy ruminations from Xavier Maillard on
<Re: [Nmh-workers] [NEWBIE]: fetchmail/procmail and inc > were:

I do the same thing.

Exactly.
=>
=> Hum, but then, how "MH" knows about new messages ? I think I am
=> missing something. Does inc just store messages and nothing else
=> or does it do some other stuff (such as updating a "database of
=> new mails") ?
Sure. Here's a sample recipe:
RCVSTORE="/usr/lib/nmh/rcvstore"
:0 :inbox/LOCK
{
# Deliver mail via nmh rcvstore to the folder
:0
| $RCVSTORE +inbox
}

=>
=> Problem is I am not sure how procmail and mh can cooperate. Do
=> you have any procmail examples ?
=>
=> Once again, thank you for clarifying things to me :)
