I abandoned (al)pine's filtering due to this. What happens is that the messages get fildered and marked for deletion in your INBOX but not actually deleted.. So if you run alpin again, (without quitting the first one), they get filtered again.. and again.. etc.
So I moved all my filtering to procmail. Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
