I'm not saying that either one of us is right, but this type of problem is particularly worrisome in our environment at NCSA. I also wrote a patch about a year ago (or maybe it's the one that you used) against 3.11pre7, available at http://mirror.ncsa.uiuc.edu/procmail/patches/smrsh-like.patch I'll be writing one for 3.13.x and adding the same functionality to formail when I have the time.
