Thank you for your comments on my .procmailrc file. I will change the file as
you suggested. Unfortunately I did not see any reply to my Friday mail as
I was having trouble with duplicate mail messages at that time.

I get the fedora core mail in digest form an have to compose a new message
for any replies to mails. I am not aware of anyway to reply to a single mail
message from the digest, so thus no threading. Again thank you for your
comments and also Marc Swartz reply to this problem. He is using a newer
version of clamassasin then I am. I will see if I can get that version to see
if that will stop the duplicate mail messages.
