Me either.
Look at the duplicate email headers, where are the duplicates coming
from? Do they have the same Message-ID? If it's the same, do they have
the same Received headers -- all of them (look at the timestamp too)?
If only some of them are the same, then the problem happens between the
two servers where the different Received headers start.
If all of the headers are exactly the same, then it might be a procmail
problem. Asking on the procmail mailing list might get you help in that
case.
I hate to point out the obvious, but this has very little to do with
Mutt (unless Mutt somehow is the reason, which I doubt). The procmail
list(s?), the list administrator, or perhaps the mail server admins
might be more relevant places/people to consult for help. Since you're
getting "flooded", as a temporary measure you might want to redirect all
the list email to /dev/null until it's sorted out...

This recipe looks fine to me, it shouldn't cause duplicates.

Wrap? Where? In the pager, in the index? Even not knowing what your
question specifically is, I suspect the answer may be "no". In what
kind of situation would you want this to happen?
