Ok, here's the deal:
I'm writing this program that accepts an order form via email.
I dump the ordering message in a folder called Order. I wrote this C
program that parses Order and creates a file, Out_Order that is the
invoice of the selections.
But, I can't figure out how to get procmail to run this program
after it puts the message in the order folder. This is what I have in
my rc.main file.

Orders
| (formail -r ; ~/IVPR/OrderProcess ~/Mail/Orders; cat ~/IVPR/Out_Order) |
$SENDMAIL -oi -t
It's just a half-ass guess since I don't really know what formail
does or the format of the commands.
What happens is it puts the message in Order and sends the
default 'Message recieved.' email back to the sender. It doesn't run
OrderProcess (~/Mail/Orders is the argument...it passes the folder in
as the file). Out_Order is the file OrderProcess generates. I want to
mail that back to the user after I run it.
So, how does this work? Is it possible? I need answers very
soon since I have to have this finished by Tuesday. OrderProcess
works fine (I've tested it with dummy order forms), so this is the one
missing link.
