Ok, but if you want to use procmail only for filtering out some messages, you must put back in the original mailbox all the mail you want to read with Mozilla. If that's really Mark's intent, the only thing to do is change the line saying DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox to DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL (basically reducing procmail's role to nothing, with the attached .procmailrc). Any mail redistributed to other mailboxes will never be seen by Mozilla.
