Yes, it sure does! Had no idea.

Good question. Perhaps if I try an answer, you might tell me I'm just
making things unecessarly difficult for myself. Keep in mind I still
have habits left over from VAX and DOS.
I use email primarily to obtain text and documents from one source
that I store in a very large and complex directory tree (perhaps
several thousand directories) by using a file manager to move them
where they are dumpted to their ultimate location. These documents
need a unique name to identify their location for sorting, to give
some idea of their content, and a date (other than the date the file
created).

Actually, I may simply be confused The "s" command prompts me for a
mailbox: "Save to mailbox=<name of sender>. However, I find this does
not create a folder <name of sender>, but instead a file with that
name. So I may not have a problem after all.
My original question was how to handle mail from one server with rmail
and mail from another with mutt, and I gather procmail is my friend
here.
