My mistake. It did just display and exit. The appended message was indeed from the next command I executed (below). >> This also does not work: >> >> procmail -d tbaker <msg.mbox > > Can you be a bit more specific?

I have had logs set up all along, and have now made them verbose. When I execute procmail -d tbaker <test.mbox -- On the netbook, it gets correctly delivered by procmail and verbosely described in the log. -- On the desktop, the message gets appended to /var/spool/mail/TBaker, and nothing is written into the log. None of the tests I have done on the desktop have been recorded in the log. The same log directory exists on both machines - I have been using the same log filename for several years as the entire directory structure got passed back and forth between the two machines.
