Subject: pine, filter, and locking??

Hi All,

I just finished reading Nancy McGough's "Filtering Mail FAQ", and I was 
able to implement automatic mailboxing of my mailing list messages.

My UNIX provider doesn't have procmail or Mailagent, so I'm using 
filter.  But now I'm concerned about the locking of the files.  From what 
I understand, if I delete a message in one of my inboxes and a message 
arrives at the same time, this could corrupt my mailbox file.

How do I implement the lock using PINE?  Does filter use a compatible 
record-locking scheme?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
