Cameron, thisi s very neat.  Do you have the other little partso f
this scheme somewhere -- I gues the getmailrc & the two "shell
daemons" you talk about?  I suppose it ought to be easy to figure out,
but for instance I'm not sure how to filter mail direclty based on
bogofilter's outcome (do you use some kind of grep/formail
combination?).

Though I suppose giventhe INCLUDERC possibility, it would be possible
to do your automated approach without the further splitting of
functions suggested by this scheme.

thanks,

matt
