Why? Its designed to use an MTA, so procmail does all that.

Kmail does that. And it occasionally gets a tummy ache when another 
program puts a mail in one of its folders.

Looked at it, needless complexity IMO.

Guilty re the stone age. What I have has been working well for decades. 
I'm 85 now, and have a replacement parts list thats beginning to 
resemble the 6 million dollar man from b&w tv days, the card case is 
full of this and that for the medics. I've out stared the guy with the 
scythe and made him blink first 3 times now but I understand I've heard 
the 10 minute warning buzzer too. I've had quite a ride, but it will 
end, sometime.

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
