Procmail should read my mind so far that procmail should know that when I write CRLF codes I mean "new line". That were reasonable. If procmail does not do that, I consider this a bug. From the human point of view it is a trivial mistake to accidently write CRLF line endings (actually wordpad.exe is buggy, but that's a different story). So there are three options now: 1.) We say wordpad.exe is buggy and file a report to microsoft and wait 10 years until it is fixed. 2.) We say procmail is buggy and fix it. 3.) We say the user is stupid and accept procmails interpretation though we all know it is a false interpretation. It's a usability question IMO.
