2. Use the `w' or `W' flag along with `c' on the recipe that forks the

Then the parent procmail process will sit around and do nothing until

Ah. good idea. I'd only ever though of using w|W with f. Thanks for
the tip.
I hardly ever use c except when I am in the final stages of testing
something (that is, it's live after sandboxing but I'm still worried).
(I always thought that cloning was a way to reproduce without forking
[and
certainly without spooning], but procmail isn't like life.)
Ooooooh, that was Baaaaaaaad!<1>
