saw that and did that last night and it seems to work for the specific case
(sorry, took some hours before mail came in for a filed list). but my fear
was that it would also do it for other files appended to by the driver,
e.g. a local mailbox. but the mode on the local_delivery: (well, procmail
in my case), seems to prevail.
