Thanks!

I will test it shortly.

But what I would *really* like would be something like this:

  (setq nnmail-procmail-regexp
        "/var/spool/mail/\\(userone\\|seconduser\\|lastperson\\)$")

This way, I could process only the mail spool files for "userone",
"seconduser", and "lastperson" and ignore all the rest of the spool
files in `/var/spool/mail'.

I'll hack around with the procmail stuff and see if this might
turn out to be an easy-to-add feature.
