OK, I have it figured out. You have to have
DEFAULT = $HOME/Maildir
in either your /etc/procmailrc (for systemwide delivery) or in your
private .procmailrc for just you.
If you are using Mutt for a local mailreader, you need to add
set mbox_type=Maildir
in your .muttrc .
Now, the interesting thing about mutt is, it looks liks this:
1190 O Mar 15 Jones, Susan M ( 19) after work get-together for Bill
1191 N F Mar 16 To Tim Sailer ( 0) test mail
notice that message 1190 hsa 19 lines and 1191 shows 0 lines, although
it has 10. The 1190 was from the mbox2mdir conversion, the new ones all
show up as 0 lines
