I get the vague feeling again that procmail's user interface (i. e.  rc
file syntax) plain sucks. I was mostly rid of it until I joined in on
bogofilter ;-) No reproaching, but I feel maildrop's ~/.mailfilter
easier to read:

if (/^X-Bogosity: No/) {
  `unbase64 | bogofilter`
  if ($RETURNCODE == 0) {
    xfilter 'formail -I"X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter-unbase64"'
  }
}
