I don't understand why not worky :-( Here is what I have in .procmailrc now: # testing of gzip pipe :0 bw: * ^Subject:.*gzip | (gzip >> testing.gz) And I just sent an email with: Subject: gzip Which ended up being left in my /var/spool/mail/$user because it didn't match any of my .procmail rules :-( However, if I replace the last line in the above .procmailrc recipe with: testingbox Then the message body ends up in ~/mail/testingbox as it should. Why????? Mark.
