Actually it should not break anything; procmail does all egrepping of header
lines as if they had been run through formail -c, and a match to ".*" will
not be interrupted by the newline-space or newline-tab that breaks a header
into continuation lines.

To quote the procmail(1) man page:

       To make `egrepping' of headers more  consistent,  procmail
       concatenates  all continued header fields; but only inter-
       nally.  When delivering the mail, line breaks will  appear
       as before.
