OK, I'll bite....  it appeared newly in the logs for me as well,
in 3.21, with a .procmailrc I've had for a *long* time.

*WHY* isn't "i" legal (and is "W"?) on a recipe whose action is
to open a left brace?

Here's the fragment of mine that seems to be causing the messages:

:0 iW
* ^Subject:.*test-this-thing
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^From:.*digest
* !^From .*bitnet
* !^X-Loop:.*stanr@
{
    VERBOSE=YES
    SUBJ=`formail -rtzxSubject:`
    PW=`gawk '/^[       ]*[Bb][Ee][Gg][Ii][Nn]/{print $2;exit}' -`
    :0 BiW: ntest.lock
    * PW ?? (^[0-9])
    ntest_found

    :0 iW: ntest.lock
    ntest_not_found
}

Note that the gawk program will not always read the entire message.
I don't know whether formail will or not.  It doesn't make sense
to me NOT to have "iW" on the recipe with the opening brace, due
to the programs executed for variable assignment within it.

Enlightenment would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Stan
