Thanks for that. Looks like I'll be migrating across to maildrop in
the next week or so :-) Something you may want to add is that if you
use Maildir format and have this in ~/.procmailrc:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
You need the equivalent for maildrop's ~/.mailfilter:
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"
Without this, messages that were not filtered (ie. fell through) will be
appended to the mbox file, /var/mail/$USER.

Andrew
