First of all, thanks to everyone who responded. Looks like I made some
really stupid mistakes (like "A:" rather than ":A") but as we all know
you read what you ment to say, and not what you really said. I'm still
waiting for someone to come out with an interpreter that figures out what
I mean! :-) As for the Netcom\NUGLOPS deal, I linked directly to your
copy 'cuz NUGLOPS went down on me a few times one week and it created a
mess in my inbox. Procmail\Formail have become more than a convience for
me, and so far the switch has paid off. I think though I'll follow
Wotan's lead though.
Actually if I remember right, NUGLOPS was just linking your copies... I
don't think I looked all over Netcom to find your copies... but that was
a while ago, and I was probably pretty desperate. :-)
Again, thanks to everyone!

The examples work fine, but your recipies don't because you told them not
to!
procmail: Assigning "FORMAIL=/u1/hal/pm/bin/formail"
WARNING (Netcom specific): I'm surprised you're linking my private
copies of formail and procmail. (I didn't even know I had them world
readable.) I make no gaurantees that those copies will remain stable
or available. You'd be safer to link the nuglops versions.
This is what I use:
# I would rather use Nuglops' formail, but sometimes they are down.
#Initialize FORMAIL variable:
:
? test -x /usr/local/nuglops/bin/formail
{ FORMAIL=/usr/local/nuglops/bin/formail }
:E
{ FORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/formail }
