Right.  Let me apologize to everyone.  I was confused by the seemingly
too easy question/problem/issue and I was only trying to help.  I'll
start a mailing list now where people can chastise me.

Right.  Just with taildir or whatever else package was written for
this...  I'm sure there is a program out there.  I can whip up a little
perl proggie to do it as well. 

I was just saying, apparently not clearly enough, that I just wished
that tail would do this *inherently*.
