		   Put file locking around rcvstore


Purpose of Hack
---------------
This isn't truly an exmh hack, but it's more of an MH/nmh hack.

Under qmail, it's more likely than under sendmail that more than one
email message will arrive at the same time.  This adds file locking to
exmh.

It also, only flags the message as unseen if I'm not the author of the
message.

What You'll Need
----------------
I use it with qmail.  I haven't thought about how to make it work with
sendmail.  It also calls 'lockfile' which comes with procmail.

Instructions
------------
Instead of calling rcvstore in your .qmail files, simply call
lockedrcvstore. 

lockedrcvstore provides the '+', so you'll need to remove that from
your rcvstore call.

Note that the conditional flagging only works if .mh_profile
does *not* specify an unseen-sequence.

For example, .qmail-important might look something like this:

|lockedrcvstore ImportantStuff
