Re: ASK Maintenance

Thanks to Paga and Peter for the help.

The UMASK  worked, but since i'm a novice at
procmail and really have no experience with it, heres the .procmailrc:

UMASK=007
:0 w
| /usr/local/ask-2.4.1/ask.py --home=/home/jbullock
EXITCODE=$?
DEFAULT=/dev/null

It took me a while to find that the UMASK line goes before the ':0' rule.

Thanks a bunch!
John
