I'll check out xawtv and emerge Gnomemeeting (which I like) when I get a chance.

I don't know SA syntax for rules yet, I've just focused on procmail atm. BTW, how do you make directories into valid "mailboxes" for the sake of mutt? As far as this list is concerned, I use Mozilla Thunderbird which has some easy to use filtering capabilities (mainly because the email account is not on my local system). -- Joseph A.
