(You probably mean ^Subject:.*(fast.*cash|make.*money) -- also, these
broad regexes might accidentally match where you don't want them to,
e.g. on Subject: pacemaker costs too much money; a useful although
tedious solution is to list more expressions like "make lots of money"
explicitly if you want to match them.)
the results. Anyway, am I mistaken about everything going into the
Inbox that doesn't match a filter?? Because the only way I could
get other mails in the Inbox was to add the following filter after
it checked for lists and spams
Procmail saves to $DEFAULT which is probably not ~/mail/Inbox and
probably whatever $MAIL is set to in your interactive shell. Pine
should be set up to fetch mail from $MAIL when you start up Pine
(probably called something like spool file in Pine's docs). You
probably +don't+ want Procmail to save directly to Pine's primary
mailbox because of locking issues (disclaimer: I don't use Pine and
don't +know+ this is correct for Pine).
