Mark,
That sounds like exactly what i'm looking for. If I understand you correctly this
will copy all messages into $MAILDIR/Archives/`date whatever`, and also allows it to
pass through the remainder of my procmail rules for a match? I could also modify the
rule to copy messages to $MAILDIR/Archives/mutt-users-YYYY-MM, which would be exactly
what I'm looking for. Thanks.
