- Apparently you are interested in taking incoming mail and placing it
- in separate files so you can manipulate it there. MH already does
- that. The 'inc' command (for incorporate) reads your /usr/spool/mail
- and places files in a directory - like~/Mail/inbox. ONce it's in
- there you can use anything you want on it. You can use MH commands in
- a shell script also. The FAQ was recently posted in comp.mail.mh.
- If all else fails, you can e-mail me for more info.
