I've sent out a request a few months ago and haven't really heard much
back.  I'm having trouble installing elm.  My objective is to have a
reliable filter program to sift through my logs and various tons of
mail I can receive in any given day.

Running elm's filter you learn quickly that it doesn't get too
descriptive about why it fails.  I can't get "savecopy" to work and I
don't know where to look to fix it.  "Save" appears to work, as well
as "delete".  But the "savecopy" only does a save and won't copy to
the mail directory.  Also my mail gets returned to the sender as an
unknown error.

--Thanks
