- All very nice, but you don't need to rewrite any MH commands to do this: MH
- can do it for you if you set up .forward and ./maildelivery files. Look at the
- man page for mhook for more details.

- I'm on several mailing lists and i use this method to sort everything into
- different folders. I did, however, need to write a simple script to do a
- "scan unseen" on all of my folders at login time, but this is trivial.
