OK. It doesn't stop it all, but it piles up in the spool & doesn't get moved to pine's mbox (new feature since a version or two back) folder till I stop either a radio stream or playing mp3's. I know this is due to a line in my .procmailrc which plays a wav file when mail arrives, but this wasn't happening with slack 9.1 or mdk 10.0. Here's the line in question: # Play default sound on receive :0 ic | $HOME/bin/mailnotify.pl DennisLeary-FuckYou.wav default &>/dev/null Also, since installing slack 10.0, this plays for each mail which arrives instead of just playing once, as it had before, no matter how many mails came in at one time. Anyone know enough about procmail to help me figure this one (two, actually) out? -- Cauliflower is nothing but Cabbage with a College Education. -Mark Twain To unsubcribe send e-mail with the word unsubscribe in the body to: Linux-Anyway-Request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?body=unsubscribe
