i need to set up a .forward file to get procmail happening
but the doco seems out of whack. the procmail(1) manpage
used to say you needed:

    "!IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #YOUR_USERNAME"

now (version 3.13.1 and 3.14) it says you only need:

    "|exec /usr/bin/procmail"

but it also says:

    The #YOUR_USERNAME is not actually a parameter that
    is required by procmail, in fact, it will be discarded
    by sh before procmail ever sees it; it is however a
    necessary kludge against overoptimising sendmail programs:

is this paragraph just a left over that needs to be removed,
or is the new .forward spec missing bits?

at least one of them must be wrong :-)
