Ok so procmail works but my TinyFugue (sic) notification (I used to get a message which said "You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/mjn") no longers works. i have tried using biff and while the bell is nice, the headers have been displaying in garbled text...is there a way to make biff display nicer or to just make procmail bell(a terminal bell?) me on certain incoming mail? ____________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com http://nifty.dsl.visi.com/ ____________________________
