MAIL=$HOME/nsmail/inbox You can then use procmail to put it there by putting a line in your .procmailrc ... like this: :0 * inbox You could want to have fetchmail call procmail in your .fetchmailrc like this: mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" Regards, -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
