procmail question

[David Relson]

Parker,

Thanks for the suggestions.  Since they make my procmailrc cleaner (hence 
better), they're worth trying.  However, there's still the unresolved issue 
of messages without bogofilter's header lines and the related question of 
the procmail messages in syslog.
