This will cause procmail to put the mail in an "MH folder", which is simply a directory with each message in a separate file. It'll start with a file named "1" and count upwards from there. Of course, make sure Mail/archivedir is a directory :) -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
