This is correct, for mbox (aka UNIX v7). For Maildir and MH, IIRC, it's a matter of filesystem location and perhaps, for Maildir, flags in the filename. (MH filenames are always integers with no flags.) So to make a message 'new' via procmail, you want to delete the Status: header. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
