Yes, but you lose those edits if you rerun 'make' or the mk-procmailrc
script.
I thought by now we'd be past this and that the infrastructure guys
would have been able to come up with a way to filter these messages, but
no such luck. Last night two of my archived lists received over 4000
Sobig emails. I was thinking perhaps I could put a procmail rule in
like:...

If the mail to be archived is first delivered to /var/spool/mail (or
something simliar), why not run procmail on the message as they
are delivered to the spool. This way you can establish all kinds
of pre-archive filtering rules without messing with mharc.
I do something like this to deal with list admin messages.
See <http://www.mhonarc.org/mharc/doc/install.html#listsadmin>.
Now, if procmail is not your MTA's default deliver agent (most
linux system use procmail), you will have to invoke it yourself.
Under sendmail, you do this in your .forward file.
