Good detective work. What do you suggest? That might explain
why it worked at FIRST, then got hosed later. But how it got
hosed is what I don't understand. I'm trying to get fetchmail+
procmail+Mutt to work, and I was playing around with filters
and then, suddenly, Mutt started giving me that message...I
still didn't have procmail even close to working, I think.
I wonder if something in there hosed it up. My procmail
config currently has this in it:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail/
:0
* ^Subject*\[lug\]*
blug
:0
* ^Subject*\[corrado-l\]*
corrado
