Subject: .procmail assistance

Hi! I'm using procmail 3.10, and having a problem with it 'filing' two
copies of every message. I've only used it once, using the script given in
either procmail(1) or procmail(5), and it's in there verbatim... I
cut-n-pasted it. :-)

	I don't want to put it into full-blown use via .forward until I've got
this one figured out, because double-articles negate whatever time I've saved
using procmail to file things for me. For reference, I've included my
.procmailrc. Thanks, in advance, for any help! :-)

    I'm not addressing myself directly to your .procmailrc, but Nancy 
McGough has a lot of good material on using procmail with Pine.  If you 
have a Web browser, you can get to her stuff from my home page.
