    Your question is important and meaningful, but it doesn't have
anything to do with the purpose of this newsgroup, which is Pine, not
Procmail.  There is a mailing list dedicated to all sorts of arcane
Procmail questions.  You might find more assistance there.

Hullo. I am very very new to UNIX and I need some step by step help in
setting up Procmail and a recipe. I've looked at several references, but
I'm still lost on some basics. To give you an idea: How is the recipe
called? Procmail has so many flags that I can't imagine how long I'll
spend trying to find out which flag I should or shouldn't be using... :)
 What I'm hoping someone will be able to do is give me a step by step list
that would contain friendly tips that may have been overlooked in the
Procmail documentation...I don't want anyone to use up a lot of time
explaining everything in detail when that has already been done in the
documentation.
 If someone could give me a template recipe and a few steps aimed at a
complete UNIX beginner plus one or two of their favourite references, that
would be perfect.
 Thank you very much for your time.
