As I think I mentioned in the December thread, procmail doesn't add any additional 
headers that a standard MTA would.  For example there is no "Date" header.

To add headers you can always use formail.  Not sure what exactly mutt is 
looking for...  But try this....

cat d1.letter | formail -a "Date: `date`" | procmail -f cron

So you are correct that the formail is needed, as the reader does not have a date to show on displaying the message. It does use the date in the first 'From ' line for the list of messages, and that mislead me yesterday.

But I am having a problem of how to specify this:

CRONDARGS=-m "formail -a "Date: `date`" | /usr/bin/procmail -f cron"

The quoting is wrong.  How do I get the quoting right for this arg list?
