https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir#Technical_operation

AFAIU: First write to tmp with filename as suggested, then move to new.

Others have described how to do that with procmail: 
https://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail, 
https://wiki.debian.org/MaildirConfiguration.
.
I did all that is described in this last link (after removing the period at the end)
That indicates I should probably reboot, or at least logout and back in in order 

to sort the env stuff.
I'll be back.


logged out, back in, if I was supposed to see any of this in an env report,
its invisible. I put some additions into $PATH in /etc/profile that tell me 

/etc/profile is NOT being executed. Its ($PATH) still the default.  Nothing for
Mailkdir either.



Next?
