Hello,

A few times, I've been going through old mail in one of my mailboxes and
noticed a mail with no subject. Opening it up reveals an entire email
message, headers and all, in the body. I'm using sendmail, procmail,
biff n and mbox format. Is this mutt-related?

I also get a lot of emails, so maybe this is a problem with procmail not
locking files?

`man procmailrc` gives me:

              :0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ]
              <zero or more conditions (one per line)>
              <exactly one action line>

So I infer that if my :0 lines end with a : they are locking. Mine all
do (the recipies that write to a file) so that shouldn't be the problem.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? So far it's been fairly benign,
but It's scaring me because I depend on my email so much.

Also, just for completeness:
