Sorry you can not simply cat maildir/* >mbox. It throws you badly with
"^From " quoting and length of messages, neither of which maildir cares
about. Although mutt may (no guarantee) be able to read the resulting
mbox, most email clients will not, and all of the newer ones will not.
At the very least you should generate a content-length: header (this is
not so easy with procmail either). Be aware that in that case DJB, the
procmail developers, and many other people will curse all hell on you
if you as much as mention content-length: being used. The situation
*sucks*.
