Quoting the "procmailrc" manual,
  "...The first recipe that matches is used to determine where the mail has
   to go (usually a file). If processing falls off the end  of the rcfile,
   procmail will deliver the mail to $DEFAULT. .... You do not need to set
   this variable, since it already points to the standard system mailbox."

So any mail that didn't match your recipe is still in your normal mailbox -
read it as you normally do (with mutt, pine, pop3, etc.). You shouldn't
set DEFAULT unless you really want your unfiltered mail to go to a different
file.
