I use this: http://freshmeat.net/projects/cats2procmailrc/ to autogenerate my procmailrc file. The rule syntax is much like yours so adapting should be easy. It's even in Python (it was once in Perl, but I rewrote it a while back). Example rules for mutt (grown over time - a few are probably obsolete by now): !me Mutt-Announce [EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt Mutt-Dev sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt Mutt-Users mutt-users@mutt.org mutt Mutt-Users mutt-users@mutt.org@korn.aiss.de mutt Mutt-Users [EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt Mutt-Users sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt c.m.mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] |mailundigest mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Left hand side is folder, middle is label, right is rule.
