% Good detective work. What do you suggest? That might explain

Thanks :-)

You need to recreate a From_ line (or, I suppose, just delete that email
and make the next item's From_ line be first).  If you use mutt_dotlock
to lock the file, then you can [probably :-] safely edit the file,
find the next From_ line, and yank it up to paste it at the head.
That should get you going.


% why it worked at FIRST, then got hosed later. But how it got
% hosed is what I don't understand. I'm trying to get fetchmail+
% procmail+Mutt to work, and I was playing around with filters

AFAIK fetchmail will very happpily write mbox files.  Furthermore, ...


% and then, suddenly, Mutt started giving me that message...I
% still didn't have procmail even close to working, I think.
% I wonder if something in there hosed it up. My procmail 
% config currently has this in it:
% 
% MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail/
...
% 
% :0
% * *
% Inbox

... it looks like you're not even dropping into /var/mail/sean but into
your ~/Mail dir Inbox file.  BTW, you can declare

  DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Inbox

above your rules and then skip this last rule, too.
