Tried Jeff's and Chris's suggestions and now find that mail doesn't
come up in Pine even though Fetchmail tells me that it is downloading
a test message.   Kind of think that Procmail isn't running at all.
Pine is set up find mail in "inbox" which in my case is in
/home/richard/Mail/inbox.  Mbox format.   Latest   .procmailrc below
but supposedly this is now correct ?  Apart from the junk which needs
to be removed when editing is finished....
