guys 
I am trying to get mutt working with fetchmail and procmail. So far procmail
is working well with fetchmail. I have a simple recipe to send a message
with "test" in the subject to a maibox ~/Mail/in-testing. all other mail is
being deposited in /var/spool/mail/rob. The problem appears to be in my mutt
setup, it reports that "/var/spool/mail/rob is not a mailbox", and when I
change mailbox to ~/Mail/in-testing I get the same message. I have included
my configs and mail file below.

any ideas

rob




.fetchmailrc
