Re: switching to mbx problems

[Chuck Campbell <campbell@accelinc.com>]

Well,
I did a quick look and found nothing in the procmail docs about mbx.  I did
a google search on "procmail mbx" and found that the short answer is 
no native procmail support for mbx format because:
  1)It is not a documented format.
  2)Someone would have to reverse engineer it to write code to support it.


I do not claim to speak for the developers.  Check with the procmail mailing 
list to be sure.
