I think you do.
ELM's "filter" works, too, but I've heard it's got some security
problems and it's going away.
Where I work, they recently "improved" sendmail so that my ELM filters
stopped working, and they've been promising to install procmail for
almost a year now.
In the mean time, what I've done is created a bunch of MUTT keyboard
macros that tag all the messages that meet my filter criteria and
save all the tagged messages to the appropriate folder. I have one macro
for each folder.
This gives me a sort of semi-automatic filter (I guess I can't be
trusted with a full-auto filter).
Now I'm going to go bug those guys about procmail...I've use that
elsewhere and it's great for filtering.
