Incorrect. According to procmailrc(5), they're just fine, even better
than your suggestion (except that they need the lockfile as you
suggested).

This will miss a mail with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Resent-To, but the
original recipe does not.
Personally I match against the X-Mailing-List headers, supplied by
Smartlist. This way mail sent to a list and cc'd to me gets sorted to
both the list archive and my personal mail folder, and it won't miss
bcc's to list. Like this:
:0:
* X-Mailing-List: <debian-(devel|bugs-(dist|forwarded|closed)|policy|doc)
Mail/debian-development
:0:
* X-Mailing-List: <debian-(hurd|testing|mentors)
Mail/debian-development
:0:
* X-Mailing-List: <debian-
Mail/debian-general
Note that I sort all debian-related mailing lists out of my personal
mailbox. All development-related mail goes to Mail/debian-development
and everything else (like debian-user) goes to Mail/debian-general.
/And/ I get a copy of cc'd mail to my personal mail folder (since I
get two copies, one with X-Mailing-List and one without), which helps
spotting them from all the incoming mail (hundreds a day).

No. Please read the MISCELLANEOUS section of procmailrc(5).

Yes. However, the ^TO macro is far superior to mindless matching of
any character: the macro will match only whole addresses; partial
matches are not allowed by ^TO.

NOTE: I am migrating to a new setup. There may still be problems with
my mail/news headers, so *please* trust the above addresses more than
the addresses in the headers. I hope I'll get this working ASAP.
