RE: Problem with fetchmail (was: I can't start with mutt)
Is there any particular reason you're passing
mail directly from fetchmail to procmail and
skipping the MTA? I've used fetchmail for years
and I always have it hand off to sendmail which
then invokes procmail for local delivery and I've
never had a problem with it.

Hi all
Thanks for reply
Here is my ~/.fetchmail
poll poczta1.newcomo.net proto pop3
user "kmazurczyk" pass xxxxxxxxx is kmaza here
mda /usr/bin/procmail;
It's all. I made an experiment changing mda to /bin/cat.
On screen I've got my post changed. Seems procmail
is ok but fetchmail does something strange.
Regards
Chris
