% Hello List,
% This is embarrassing. I have made letterboxes in $HOME/Mail using
% touch. These new files don't open automatically but bring up the "open
% with" dialogue when clicked. Procmail evidently can't see or open them
"when clicked", hmm? Sounds like you're probably trying to use a GUI
filemanager to fire off mutt -- something outside the scope of this
list :-)
% to deliver mail and it all goes to inbox. How do I make files that open
This sounds like you don't have a .forward file to tell sendmail to
hand your mail off to procmail, and perhaps don't have a .procmailrc file
to do that on a system where procmail is the MDA but certainly not to
tell procmail where to deliver mail. Check out the man pages for
procmail and procmailex for starters.
% when clicked and more specifically mailboxes that procmail can use?
Empty files are fine for both mutt and procmail, so that's no problem.
Look into your file manager configs for how to specify that such-and-such
is a mailbox and should be opened by mutt.
% Thanks.
