Actually, the most daunting thing about this list is the sheer volume
of mail involved. That's what drove me to start using procmail.
Having too much time on my hands made me lazy and use dotfile, but
when dotfile broke and I realized the only reason I even saw it as a
maintained package still was that I had a stable source straggling
around from days of yore...
