Here's my procmail recipe to filter mutt mailing list mail:

:0
* ^TO_mutt
Mutt

That's all it takes.  It ends up in a mailbox called Mutt.

Questions:

Does your $HOME/Mail directory exist?
What's the PMDIR and INCLUDERC environmental variables for?  I'm running
procmail-3.21-0.71, and have either of them.
