In order to help these people that try to use procmail to expand
POP3 mailboxes with complete domains behind them, it would probably
be nice to include something like the following in the regexp that
^TO and ^TO_ expand to:

      ^Received:.*[    ]for <?

Or do any of you see problems with this with regard to unexpected
matches or backward incompatibility?

This would break recipes I have for differentiating mailing list
arrivals addressed to me as well as a list, e.g.

  # ISDN List
  :0:
  * ^TOisdn(-digest)?@(max\.)?bungi\.com
  * ! ^TOrick(_at_)helix\(_dot_)nih\(_dot_)gov
  isdn

I think I could live with this breakage.  However, the user community's
need for that kind of distinction strikes me as possibly not trivial.
