For some reason I don't think that will change my subject line.

[couple of searches on google, reading some man pages, testing it out, and half an hour later]
=[procmailrc]===========================
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail/test
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox
LOGFILE=$HOME/local/temp/procmail.log

:0fhw
* ^(To|Cc):.*linux-user@egr.msu.edu
* ^Subject: \/.*
| formail -I "Subject: [GLLUG] $MATCH"
$DEFAULT
========================================

(in my $HOME/mail/test/ directory)
mv inbox testbox
formail -s procmail -m $PWD/procmailrc < testbox
mutt -f inbox

ok, now that seemed to work but know I have to configure fetchmail and figure a way to spool the mail and run procmail on it.

It would be ten times easier if the lists admin would just change the Subject line.
Isn't that the default for most mails?
Its easier for beginners to sort their mail by sorting though the subject line in their MUA.

Dunno, maybe its just a few of us.
