Re: formail splitting problem

I've got a problem with "cat folder | formail -s procmail".  formail thinks
"folder" is just one big message because none of the "From " lines have blank
lines before them.  Doesn't the RFC require this?  Is this a VM problem or is
something wrong with formail?  I'm using procmail v3.11pre7.

   Try adding the -e flag.  From FORMAIL(1):

       -e   Do not require empty lines to be preceding the header
            of  a  new message (i.e.  the messages could start on
            every line).

   So 

      cat folder | formail -es procmail -m procmailrc
   
   will probably do the trick.
