Thanks for that.  Looks like I'll be migrating across to maildrop in
the next week or so :-)  Something you may want to add is that if you
use Maildir format and have this in ~/.procmailrc:

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

You need the equivalent for maildrop's ~/.mailfilter:

DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"

Without this, messages that were not filtered (ie. fell through) will be
appended to the mbox file, /var/mail/$USER.

Regards
Andrew
