Thank you. Opera is a client but it doesn't understand the system of |
| 2 |
mboxes or maildirs that Pine uses - at least not as far as I've been able |
| 3 |
to discover. It can talk to IMAP or POP servers but doesn't seem to have a |
| 4 |
place for procmail to dump the mail to. With Pine I can tell it to use |
| 5 |
the local mail folders where mail is dumped after it's fetched and |
| 6 |
processed by procmail. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I've liked the fetchmail->procmail setup as I can have procmail process |
| 9 |
the mail in many ways and even though Opera can do much of that I'ld like |
| 10 |
to keep this process. |
| 11 |

Thanks. |
