You did check out man procmailrc and man procmailex, right? I've also
got some simple stuff on the SLUG FAQ page. Let me know if that's
confusing as well.

If I understand you correctly, then Ian's solution will work. Just use
the 'c' flag to copy the mail wherever you like. It will also appear in
your inbox, so you can read and then delete it (and a copy will still be
in the folder you sent it to).
