Understand the principle now - correcting outgoing mail now by hand.

If I pipe one message into procmail with:

	procmail -v -d tbaker <msg.mbox

procmail reports:

	Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl()
	Default rcfile:         $HOME/.procmailrc
	Your system mailbox:    /var/spool/mail/TBaker

and appends the message to the file /var/spool/mail/TBaker,
ignoring the recipe in $HOME/.procmailrc.

This also does not work:

	procmail -d tbaker <msg.mbox

However, on the netbook

	procmail -d tbaker <msg.mbox

works fine, delivering the message where it is supposed to go.
