from standard input. that is why the reference to the mhonarc
program starts with a pipe symbol <|>. Procmail disposes a copy
of the message just received through a Unix pipe to stdin of the
mhonarc process. MHonArc takes it from there. The script that
Chris offered you adds each message as it is received. One
message per execution. No batch of messages involved. The
procmail documentation is pretty clear about this.
