I think it does work, yes. I vaguely remember setting Netscape to point
to my mail directory, not .nsmail, and that one is supposed to use
a "movemail" program paying atention to locking. I think procmail can
do the job of said movemail. One can also configure procmail as a mail
delivery agent, but I just use a pipe in .forward.

It seems to work in Netscape 4(communicator) .. I think IMAP might even
work. Communicator has its own filter I see but I've not tried it .. a
lot of clicking to set it up, instead of copying a working rule and
tweaking it in a few keystrokes ...
