Using BSD Mail to read from my mbox

1996-01-03 11:55:47

Hi folks, I have just installed and configured procmail-3.11pre4. My
question deals with the behaviour of the BSD Mail utility. I used to
be able to read my mail from the $HOME/mbox file but since installing
procmail, the Mail utility seems to ignore the contents of the mbox.
If I run "Mail" it tells me that I have no mail. If I start it up with
Mail -f mbox, then I can see the messages. Am I doing something wrong?
Is there some recipe I need to add to my .procmailrc file?

I perused the "best_of_procmail_list" file but couldn't find anything
about this problem. If anyone has had this problem, would you be good
enough to provide a corrective measure.

THX.
