I have a few questions for you all that I think are essential to the
long-term success of procmail: 

What are the plans, if any, to 
 * port procmail to Win95 and NT?
 * create a GUI interface for procmail?
 * allow editing of procmail files via ACAP?
   (ACAP info is at http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/acap/)

        I just figured I need to add my $.02 in here so forgive me for
being rude, but I have a hard time seeing why these would be important.

        #1) I personally think that that would be better sutied to a
totaly diffrent project.  As far as I recall (Admitially it's been awhile)
Exchange uses a totally diffrent delivery system.  So while alot of the
header processing could be implemented the same, the location of where
procmail would fit in would have to change things.

        #2) To what end.  I would think that would be an editor prefrence
as to how GUI the interface was.  All but the most basic scripts are to
involved for "drag and drop" insertion of recipies, and there's not much
configuration for the executable itself.

        #) Don't really know enought about this to comment. But from a
quick look at that page, I didn't see anything that would benifit.

        Anyway, that's just MHO.
