An alternative would be not to look at your mail while downloading it. Is there any reason for not crossposting your message to a procmail list, eg procmail-dev@procmail.org or procmail@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE? The number of people on both procmail and cygwin lists must be very small, but the procmail developers (ie Philip Guenther) should be made aware of the autoconf problem. -- Greg Matheson Taiwan Penpals Site Chinmin College, Taiwan http://netcity.hinet.net/kurage lang@ms.chinmin.edu.tw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
