Re: Using variables in the .procmailrc

Right before that little script:

$ttmp = $maildir
$maildir = $home/mail/incomming

:0
* test(s)
listfolder

(now right after your script):

$maildir = $ttemp

I'm still very new to procmail so bear with me...

I want my normal mail to go into the system inbox, but I want
mailing lists to be sorted into the directory:

$HOME/mail/incoming/

How can I set up a procmail recipe so that I don't have to supply
that full path for every single recipe?  In other words, I'd like
to put:

:0:
* ^TOsomelist
SOMELIST

I'd like to have it *just* like that, but I wan't SOMELIST to end
up in $HOME/mail/incoming/SOMELIST.

Is this possible?  Can I set a default inbox path for processed
mail, but one that doesn't affect other mail processing, ie:
whatever mail doesn't match a recipe - ends up in
/var/spool/mail/$USER  ?

Thanks in advance for your help.  Allready I've doubled my
knowledge of procmail from only a few postings to his list.
