Here is an extract from my .procmailrc that handles the
main humbug mailing lists.  Thanks to Bruce for the easy
"X-Loop:" header. Note that I use a subdirectory, that is,
~/mail/In/l-humbug-general, for these lists.

    SHELL=/bin/sh
    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
    MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
    LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/a-procmail.log

    #
    # Humbug mailing lists
    #

    * ^X-Loop: chat at lists.humbug.org.au
    In/l-humbug-chat

    :0:
    * ^X-Loop: general at lists.humbug.org.au
    In/l-humbug-general

    :0:
    * ^X-Loop: announce at lists.humbug.org.au
    In/l-humbug-announce

I actually process my .procmailrc to produce config files for
mutt.  If you're interested in taking a look, drop me an email
and I'll email you a tar file.

Yours sincerely,
