This problem has nothing to do with procmail, but since I don't have  
anybody else to turn to and that your advices are always the best, I  
guessed you could help me. Here it is :

I'm using OpenStep 4.0 (the new NeXTSTEP) as it states in this  
message headers and I do often use MIME mails. Unfortunately, for an  
unknown reason, the messages I send are received differently from  
what I typed in the sense that when I hit the Return key, to get a  
new line, it works perfectly well here but the received message (I  
tried Netscape 3.0 on Windows 95) doesn't get this new line.
In order to really have a new line under Netscape Mail, I have to  
hit twice the Return key under NeXTSTEP.

I guess this is again a problem with new line and return or  
something like that, but my question is how do I solve it ?

It's because NeXTmail is sending your message as text/enriched.
In that content type, single newlines are ignored and only double
newlines are treated as paragraph separaters.  If you don't like
that, don't use enriched text.

Now, the only reason your messages would be sent as enriched text
is if there's something like bold text in the message.  Or your
signature.  In this case, it's the latter.  Try unbolding your
name in your sig and see what happens.
