Re: [Nmh-workers] Pasing stdin to "inc -file" ?

Thus spake "Ronald F. Guilmette":

I am signed up for many mailing lists, including this one, which
I do not actually read on a routine basis, but which I like to
archive locally using appropriately named MH folders that reside
underneath my own ~/Mail directory.

Of course, as far as the MH system is concerned, the proper way to
place a new message into a folder is the "inc" command.  But "inc"
requires that the message be grabbed either after it has already
been delivered to the user's onw local maildrop file or else that
it come from a named file.  This creates a sort-of impeadance
mismatch with the way that procmail wants to do things.  It just
wants to pass the message file to some other command via stdin.
Also, of course, each time "inc" runs it diddles the user's
$HOME/Mail/context file to point to the folder/directory where the
nes message is being refiled, regardless of whether the user desires
this behavior or not.

Can't you use rcvstore for this?

For example, I've had this spam-filing recipe in my .procmailrc for ages:

:0w: Mail/sp/$LOCKEXT
* ^X-Bogosity: Spam, tests=bogofilter
| /usr/libexec/nmh/rcvstore +sp
