I see: I use fetchmail and then procmail for fetching email. So, would this be done through fetchmail or procmail?

Regardless, actually I think that all I would be happy with would be a query or something that alerts me to the fact that I am potentially writing to an individual address (or a list) (for when I am  on a list, but not in general, because then I start to blindly accept because most email is not to a list).

Any thoughts on if this is possible?

Many thanks and best wishes,
