Oh man, talk about timely.  I JUST set up fetchmail and procmail on my
laptop.  I have it working, but procmail is complaining about not being
able to deliver to /var/spool/mail/ksandhu, even though I've changed the
DEFAULT to /home/ksandhu/.evolution/mail/maildir/.

Anyway, why the need for a .forward?  Isn't it enough to setup
a .fetchmailrc file, and then let procmail handle delivery via
fetchmail's "mda" option?
