How are you doing? Can I ask you for some help?

It happens that most of the time the I add a new recipe to my procmail
config, I already have messages in my INBOX, which should have been 
sorted
by the new recipe. Can I sort these messages with procmail?


mv inbox oldbox
formail -ds procmail < oldbox

Sorry, I didn't understand the question and the answer.
Cyrille can you explain?  Didn't the question was howto
sort a message - pipe the message into command sort(1)?


this is a procmail list, not a unix one :)
so, the question was : howto sort (using procmail) the incomming messages.
in other words, it means that "Jean-Bernard" don't have setup it's .forward
and all the emails goes to its inbox instead of to be sorted (in multiple
mailboxes) using procmail.

        Then, you reprocmail it manual.  A sort of sort out.
        (this is an English list ;)
