Since you're not doing any locking anyway ;^) you won't lose anything
by doing a tee -a. But while you're at it, you might want to do proper
locking.
:0hc:moo.lock
* ^Subject:.*\<(join|subscribe) list\>
| formail -zrtxTo | tee -a $PMDIR/joke-l/memberlist.txt \
>>$PMDIR/joke-l/noack.txt
You should of course use the same lock file when accessing these files
elsewhere in your .procmailrc.
Or did you have something else in mind?
Is the lock file going to be necessary for reading or just writing to the
files?
The matching on the subject line looks a bit sloppy to me; are you
sure you want the wildcard there?
* ^Subject: (join|subscribe) list(\>|)
What is your opinion of this expression?
