I like the customizability of procmail alot bette then the way
netscape does its filtering, so I would like to use procmail
exclusively. The problem I've encountered though is that when your
reading the messages and deleting or moving them around. If you don't
compact the folders, procmail will remark the messages as unread or
something next time procmail moves messages to that file. Basically,
until you compact the folders the messages still reside in that mail
file.
Has anyone else noticed this or found a work around for it. I'm a
gui freak, pine and elm are ok, but I prefer gui's
Netscape doesn't do any file locking when it manipulates a folder, so the
combination of procmail and Netscape together can be problematic.
The cleanest solution is to avoid one or the other, or have Netscape use an
IMAP/POP server to read the files so that some level of locking is
introduced.
