} Thanks (to you and the others) for their suggestions, while I am on the
} topic, is there a way to archive the messages individually (instead of
} making a mbox file).

:0c: 
Mail/archivedir/

Note the trailing slash.  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 :)
