[SLUG] Procmail, Formail and Mailing List Digests

2002-11-07 Thread Timothy Bateman
Dear Slug, I'm using procmail to filter my mail into mailboxes and I use it in conjection with formail to split mailing list digests into separate messages. I use mbox format mailboxes. This mostly works ok except that frequently the new messages are appended to the mbox file without any s

[SLUG] Procmail problem with no new line between adjacent messages

2002-06-14 Thread Timothy Bateman
I've got a problem with procmail. I am using it to filter mail into various mbox files which I then read with evolution or pine. What I'm finding is happening is that I'm _sometimes_ not getting a newline as a new message is appended to the mbox file. Evolution then freaks out about mailbox cor
