The attitude that procmail is gone and "good riddance", when its been 
working rather well here for yonks once I had grokked how to write a 
recipe that worked, is what pulled my trigger.  The fact that its been 
declared dead, and last rights given 2 years ago is news to me as it was 
apparently not well publicized in the lists I sub to, currently about 
40.  It is also in the debian repo's I access, and no noises made about 
dropping it that I am aware of.  Unless the switchover can be done 
rather painlessly, I will likely use it until I miss roll call, an 
undetermined time in the future but looming as I am now 82 yo, diabetic, 
and a blue hang tag on the rear view mirror of my WV Cadillac, aka a 99 
GMC 4wd 3 door. Might come in handy as we've about 4" of new snow on 
warm roads that none of the local youngun's have ever learned how to 
drive on. And still falling slowly.

I do apologize for biting back as you did stir the pot and maildrop was 
brought to my attention, for that I thank you.

Take care Carlos.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
