mailstat.pl example program using Log::Procmail to mimic mailstat(1)

keep logfile intact
long display format
merge any errors into one line

silent in case of no mail
Customise to your heart's content, this program is only provided as a guideline.
This program was written by Philippe 'BooK' Bruhat as an example of use for Log::Procmail. It mimics mailstat(1) as much as possible.
The original mailstat(1) was created by S.R. van den Berg, The Netherlands.
The original manual page was written by Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others).
