Odhiambo,
I think you could use pine. (please correct me if I am wrong.)
i.e...pine -f /var/mail/some_mailbox
You should be able to view the mailbox and delete the problem e-mail.
Very correct and I can also use elm -f some_mailbox but that is not what I
wanted to do.
Say I have 2k mailboxes and someone has sent a mass mail to all those
mailboxes and I want to delete that mail before the others retrieve it.
I would want to match some condition, either From: or Subject: and pass
all these mailboxes to procmail somehow, you see the point why I asked
this on the procmail list and not pine-users ;-)

Is there a recipe that I can use to delete an e-mail that has already been

I agree with every word you write, and I can prove this in no better way
than
by taking your advice from beginning to end.
