mail & nice

[James W. Meritt]

	I have my .forward aimed to a script that sorts the incoming to
appropriate mailing lists.  Unfortunately, when a large block of mail
gets freed up from someplace downstream and a dozen or so come in, each
piece of mail fires up the mail filter process, and the whole machine
gets bogged down. 

	Since mail isn't real high on my priority list, is there a way
to set this up such that the script gets its priority knocked down
such that the ttys can keep going?
