Done. Thanks for the tip.
I'm still hosing my mailbox, though, at least when procmail is in the
mix. I cleared out what was in
there, added the extra colon to :0, and then ran fetchmail.
2 messages were downloaded, when I ran mutt, I got the message
that the file was not a mailbox.
So I cleared the mail file again,
sent another test message from hotmail, removed this line from
the .fetchmailrc: "mda procmail", and then ran again. This time
the mailbox was okay. So I guess somehow I'm running procmail
incorrectly, or else it's misconfigured in the .procmailrc.
At least I have an idea what was hosing it before, but I don't
know how to get filtering working.
