I had the same problem, and it seems to be because my .procmailrc was in dos format. In vim, I ran :set ff=unix and the problem went away. > At 03:23 PM 12/10/2001, C.

I seemed to be having problems with mailbox corruption with the sample fetchmailrc at the site above, so I used mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -m /home/lang/.procmailrc -d %T" # mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA # (Procmail in this case.) The -f flag to rewrite the ^From line, and the -m one to quiet the "not able to write /var/spool/mail/lang" message. But before doing this, I had been moving the messages around my mail folders with procmail so, perhaps the sample fetchmailrc does work. -- Greg Matheson Chinmin College Taiwan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
