okay after a number of people sending me possible solutions to my
'need to sort mailing list mails and play a sound to notify their arrival'
problem i've finally found a solution. the solution was inspired by a
number of other solutions which didn't solve the problem. anyway the
solution came out to this:
:0:
* ^TO_\/.+procmail@
{
procmail_list
:0 A
| cat >> /home/jwallen/mail/procmail_list ; play ~/sounds/kill.wav
}
the biggest help came when John Summerfield suggested i think more along
the lines of 'saving the e-mail and then making noise.
Thanks everyone.
