On a similar note, if you use MH-style mail folders, something like
this:

DEFAULT="| rcvstore +inbox" (with a properly set PATH, of course)

Once I actually set about in earnest today to convert my .procmailrc
to .mailfilter format, I was amazed how easy it turned out to be.  My
one remaining little bug-a-boo is with maildrop's logging; it wants to
overwrite the log on each invocation instead of appending.  Still no
clue how to fix that.

But otherwise, the transition was really a breeze, and is working just
fine.
