This is great for new stuff, but what about all the old messages in my spoolfile that have piled (and piled and piled) up while I've been fiddling with procmail? Is there any way to implicitly define a folder (mbox, whatever) for procmail to work it's magic on? Kinda like KDE's 'Run Rules Now' switch? Any help, as always, would be much appreciated. Thanks!
In the procmail man page it mentions using procmail/formail to process a
populated mailbox with 'formail -s procmail < mailbox', of course I
would backup the mailbox first just in case.
