I want a means of downloading a digest, as a digest, i.e. a single message and then by some jiggery-pokery undigesting it, perhaps temporarily (a la grepmail). I know there are MUA's that can do this, but mutt cannot (and I have *no* intention of giving up mutt just for this btw, it is in my opinion a brilliant piece of software which makes mail-reading as painless as possible).
I do use procmail btw, but it is a pig, both resource wise and syntactically...it looks like it was born in the same barn as sendmail. My MTA is postfix, my MUA is mutt .. both of these I am very happy with. The man in the middle ..Procmail.. I dislike intensely...but that is OT here. Thanks for the input anyway. -- Regards Cliff
