I have to agree with Joshua here.  He's right on all counts, but I've
always preferred to have an external application do my filtering, so I
do use procmail.  That way, mail gets sorted upon arrival instead of
when I check my mail.  Probably more a matter of preference on that
point, but you CAN use mutt.
