- Well I don't know whether it's fixed or not, perhaps Brett and
- Bob can have a go at this. In the meantime I have a work-around
- which fixed my problem without having to install 6.7.2.

- I put the following line in my .maildelivery:
-
- default,-,|,?,"/local/lib/mh/rcvpack /usr/spool/mail/gpkatch"
-
- Supposedly rcvpack "is obsoleted" [sic] by .maildelivery, but
- at least it works. I am now inc-ing my many morning maildrop
- messages merrily.
