Soon I'll be going on vacation, and one important class of
mail should be seen by one of my colleagues immediately. I've
tested a simple forwarding rule for filter and it works just
fine. My problem is that I want *two* actions for such
messages: the forward *and* saving in a certain folder. It
doesn't look like filter knows how to do that. Or is it just
that *I* don't know how? The only thing I can think of is
saving to the folder, then (using cron) sending the batch (if
any) to my colleague periodically. Seems pretty cumbersome.

You can set up a simple shell script that both appends the message to your save folder AND mails a copy of the message to someone else. Pass the appropriate argument(s) in the execute command. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : itkin@Transact.COM :
