oh crap. i should have read procmailex again before sending my last 
long message.

mea culpa.  where procmailex gives me the receipe to save extra copy, 
before that it also gives the no-copy alternative as you have suggested, 
andrew.  i did read procmailrc, the 'c' option does says that it would 
create a copy. obviously i missed it.

i am quite red as i right this.
