Hi procmail(_at_)informatik(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de
CC Brent(_dot_)Welch(_at_)eng(_dot_)sun(_dot_)com (of exmh) & 
wohler(_at_)newt(_dot_)com (of MH FAQ )

version 1.6.4 10/10/95
FreeBSD vector 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #6: Sun Oct 22 16:32:00 MEZ 1995

A Question please:
What do you reccomend so I can get procmail to update my MH
~/Mail/_folders_/.mh_sequences   unseen:   fields ?
( At present it only delivers the mail files into folders ).



My Background (skip if not necessary :-)

   I previously suggested to Brent(_dot_)Welch(_at_)eng(_dot_)sun(_dot_)com 
that it would be nice if
   EXMH  could change folder colour when new mail was within a folder,
   I now see exmh already does this already (I had to remove my 
   .forward containing
   
   "|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 75 #jhs"
   
   so that I could see my exmh inbox turn blue for new mail, when supplied by a
        simple test of  `date | mail my_name`
   
   Basically after I connect each day or so via dynamic-ip-slip (thus no 
   fixed domain (usually, but an alternate ISP may offer domains,
   hence I want my .forward in place too), & nmormally no mail delivered
   by sendmail ) I download my mbox via ftp , 
   & then run my mbox through a procmail script, which fails to update the
   unseen: lines in all the exmh folder/.mh_sequences, so exmh thinks ive seen
   all the new mail.

PS  please leave jhs(_at_)freebsd(_dot_)org on cc line, as I've only just sent 
in my
enrollment request for
        procmail(_at_)informatik(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de
& replies may precede my enrollment.

Thanks for any help folks :-)
