First, thanks for all of the responses to my filter rules problem.
Now my rules are correctly working.  Unfortunately, there is
something happening for the "default" case.  The rest of my
mail now seems to get appended into a single message.  That is,
say I have received 5 new messages, when invoking elm to read
them, they all show up in one message.  Any ideas?  I looked
at the mail spool file, and the headers seem to be the same
as they were before.  This only starts happening when I turn
on the filter process (I guess via the .forward file).  I've
included sample headers from before I starting using the filter
program, and after.  Whereas my /usr/spool/mail file contains
several messages, only the messages received since using the
filter program are "concatenated" together.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

thanks,
