Indeed. But for just filing most messages it's complicated and tedious.

So see this:

	http://freshmeat.net/projects/cats2procmailrc/

which is a filter to general procmailrcs for the simple cases; you can
still plug in raw procmail for complicated things. However, most "file
this list traffic to folder X" rules are simple one-test boilerplate.
So my cats2procmailrc rule for this list is:

	unix      RH-List         redhat-list at redhat.com

which generated this procmail clause:

	: 0
	* ^(to|cc|bcc):.*\<redhat-list at redhat\.com\>
	{

	  :0whf
	  | formail -f -A 'X-Label: RH-List'

	  : 0
	  unix/
	}

That and a makefile lets me file most stuff with a single line rule.
Handy.

Disclaimer: yeah, I wrote this.
