    well i guess i simply have to run procmail manually everytime i wanna check my email. i figured i just run it like this:
    procmail < mailbox
    assuming my mail spool is $HOME/mailbox. well that doesn't work, and furthermore, after i did that, and checked my mail via mutt, half my emails were duplicated.

    all i want to be able to do is be able to run procmail manually on my mail spool ($HOME/mailbox), move mail that has "test" in the subject to $HOME/Mail/testbox, and leave everything else in $HOME/mailbox. why am i have having such a hard time? =(

    [cjb@thor cjb]$ cat .procmailrc
    DEFAULT=$HOME/mailbox
    PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
    MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
    LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
    INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
    LOG="
    "
    VERBOSE=yes

    [cjb@thor cjb]$ cat .procmail/rc.testing
    :0:
    * ^Subject:.*test
    testbox

    thanks again for the help...
