If you make `procmail' your local mailer, with FEATURE(local_procmail)dnl ... in "/etc/sendmail.mc", then run sendmailconfig on it, you won't need a .forward anymore, and your .promailrc will get run through procmail automaticly. It's a lot more efficient this way, I think.

I guess that Pine doesn't conform to our locking policy. It should see that the file is 'locked' and block until the .lock to goes away. I've never used `pine'. Is there a setting to have it do this? I'm using Gnus, in XEmacs,[1] to read my mail now. In the Gnus info manual, I found settings for using procmail delivery folders, so that Gnus will honor the locking files. It took a short afternoon to set up, and I really like it. It's got the advantage of putting newsgroups and email in the same interface. And, in XEmacs, it's fully MIME capable, with sound and pictures and everything. (I've got to quit advertising.) Footnotes: [1] It's also in Emacs. -- Karl M.
