Anyhow the lesson to be learned is that procmail is very powerful but when given to someone who thinks that they know what they are doing it becomes a very dangerous weapon!

I'm tempted to write a stand-alone procmail alternative with a nicer configuration language, probably based on Gnus's "fancy mail splitting" feature. When I consider why I use Gnus, the mail filtering and the scoring are the top two reasons.

Anyway, let's start with market research:

- who would be interested in a friendlier procmail?

- should it have both GUI and file-based configuration methods?

- what alternatives are already out there? I can't seem to find a good one, but maybe one of you uses one already?
