Unless fetchmail or procmail can change that then yes i am sure. here is my .fetchmailrc poll pop.phnx.qwest.net with proto POP3 user snoogans password ****** user 'snoogans' there with password '******' is 'bob' here mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" I got that setup from a thread on the gentoo forums. Im not sure what the -d %T does but a quick search through the man page doesn't look like it does anything that could affect it. Here is my .procmailrc VERBOSE=no LOGFILE=$HOME/.pmlog MAILDIR=$HOME/.mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox :0 * ^(To|Cc).*gentoo-user@gentoo.org* gentoo-user :0 * ^(To|Cc).*gentoo-desktop@gentoo.org* gentoo-desktop :0 * ^(To|Cc).*gentoo-announce@gentoo.org* gentoo-announce :0 * ^(To|Cc).*plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us* plug :0 $DEFAULT Its kind of plain right now but im still geting the hang of it :) -- BoBB
