I have set up my procmail to forward incoming mail to my folders so I can
read them with pine. This has worked so far as long as the messages don't
come in at the same time. A lot of times they do for me though, so I
enabled the option to use a lock file. It doesn't seem as if this is
working though because whenever it gets forwarded to the folder multiple
mails show up as one big mail concatanated together. Any help on this would
be great. I am including the verbose output from procmails log along with
my .procmailrc and .forward file for review. According to the procmail
output it is successfully creating a lockfile and moving on to the next
message to forward to the folder. But it still shows up in my folder as one
message. I'll include an example of this at the end of the mail for your
review. I apologize for the length of the message but I wanted to make sure
that I included everything. Also I am using procmail v3.13.1. Thanks in
advance for any help anyone can offer.
