[ingo] Existing .procmailrc and forwarding code

I'm slowly putting together various components on a fresh Horde
install and I just installed Ingo 1.0.2-rc1. A few comments right off
the bat. First, this rocks. I was just talking about creating
something similar with my co-workers. Now I've got much of what I
need without having to build a framework around it.
Second, does Ingo do any check for previously existing files? I ask
because it just overwrote the .procmailrc I already had without any
warning. To prevent this in the future, it looks like I need to turn
off the "Automatically update the script after each change?" option by
default (which seems like the saner default). Will that do what I
want?
Third, since the only thing I had in my .procmailrc before was a
forward, I went to set up the same forward using Ingo. When I do
this, it wants to add a bunch of lines. In particular, it seems to
make a clone before forwarding and then toss the clone to /dev/null.
I'm not even close to being a procmail wizard, but isn't this an
inefficient way to forward mail without keeping a copy?
Wouldn't:
:0
! address at someplace.net
be simpler? And then add an optional "c" when it's needed?
