This has the problem that message files within maildirs are not supposed
to have the leading "From ", which this will create.  Not a big problem
in practice probably, but a violation of the standard anyway.  And you
likely can't get rid of the "From " with just procmail anyway, you'd
need some other tool for that (I haven't investigated this).
