Hi David,

First of all, thanks a thousand times for your answer. 

This is a really great solution to the problem. I must admit that I do not
understand some of your rules, but I will go through this later today with
the procmailrc manpage beside it.

Heh.  I didn't either.  =)  The flexibilty of some utilities is
sometimes astounding.

Now that I set up fetchmail and procmail to run smoothly together, I feel
so stupid having used PINE and Netscape filters for several years. Procmail
is so much greater a scope ! Now all I'll have to do is set up procmail to
Fcc my outbound mail and I'm as happy with my mail as can be. Well, perhaps
find a good reader that supports threading and reads mbox files.

I like and use Mutt which does both of the things you mention.
