I'm honesty, I don't have much knowledge about procmail. But in my eyes
it's *not* the job of the MDA. The mail's syntax is correct, so there is
no need to modify/correct them. If tomorrow a very-new-style will become
standard you wouldn't transform your whole Mailbox into this one, world
you? I see no error in argumenting that it's the *MUA*'s job.
I see your point, that vith procmail it's way faster. But this doesn't
bother me (if the checking is done on demand).
P.S.: Sorry again for the wrong subject line. I proofread the body, but
I forgot to do it on the subject. :-\
