That's pointing me to the real issue....

I use exmh, and have the following in .mh_profile:

        context: .exmhcontext

It's actually exmh, not procmail, that has been changing the default folder.

Since exmh sets the MHCONTEXT variable internally, I don't need to set 
"context" in .mh_profile (which forces command-line tools to refer to the same 
context as exmh).

=> 
=> Potentially, you could use one $MHCONTEXT for procmail, and another one
=> for each window (  export MHCONTEXT=~/.mhcontext-`tty`   or similar) and then

Something like:

        export MHCONTEXT=~/Mail/.mhcontext-`tty|sed -e "s,.dev.,," -e "s,/,.,"`

=> even different windows won't interfere with each other...

I like that idea, and may use it later.

Thanks,

Mark
