I've been using procmail and rcvstore together for a long time (at
least 3 or 4 years) and have not had any problems.  As long as you use
procmail locking to prevent simultaneous invocations of rcvstore, you
should be fine.

Yes, it can happen that show, mark, etc, can cause a problem, but I've
never had a real problem with it.  So I don't think using rcvstore with
procmail is too much risk.

I've been planning on adding folder locking to nmh, but I've been too
busy with my new job.  Maybe after the next release (soon, soon).
