I have *many* procmail scripts which too have to be altered to filter mail 
into Maildir boxes instead of mboxes. But it does not see too hard to 
convert them, especially since only the output line needs to be changed.

Maybe I'll plan for a complete cutover. Besides, having the email in 
individual files will make them *much* easier to manage from command-line.
