[wplug] procmail help

(Cut for space -- see thread)

Seems to be working good, except for 1 tiny thing with the @comcast.net
accounts. When a mail comes in from the @comcast.net accounts, I get a
"greater than" sign that is added to the beginning of the "From
fetchmail $DATE" line.  This basically messes up the header, and
produces a really messed up email.  It is not happening with the
@linuxmail accounts, so I assume it is coming from the fact that we are
using formail now in there, but not sure what exactly is doing it.

I have pasted the following below, cause I can't seem to find out where
this is coming from.
	(1) Header from on of the @comcast.net accounts
	(2) /etc/fetchmailrc
	(3) /etc/procmailrc
	(4) /home/kevin/.procmailrc

As a side thought... Should/could I put the /home/kevin/.procmailrc
stuff that forwards mail to val and ariel into the /etc/procmailrc file?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Example email:
Notice the " > " in the 7th line.  This cause the 1st 6 lines to be the
"header" and the rest to be part of the email.
