Hi,
Actually, some of the delay is there by design ;-). You see,
if a flurry of messages comes in (like, when one runs popclient),
then we don't want to spawn as many copies of mailagent as there are
messages (well, perl is a rather large binary). What is done is that

I discovered (more or less) what was happening, by a fluke experience!
I have another account at another ISP on which I had never previously
checked my mail til today. My user name at the other ISP is just "susan".

Hi,
Umm, could you send a few messages to your isp, susan, such
that the messages fall through your mailagent .rules file, and see if
the ~/mbox.sgk file looks ok? (if you mail it to me, I could have a
look). Are you annotating the mail message in any way?

I've been tip-toeing my way forward with mailagent. My ~/.rules file
currently disposes of only a few of the mailing lists I'm on,
and only those for which I don'

This mail is processed by my ~/.rules file, and messages which aren't
automatically refiled as a resul
