You need an `i' flag on this recipe. The `head -20' command reads (and
writes) the first 20 lines and then exits. At that moment, procmail
hasn't had the chance to write the complete 1.5MB through the pipe.
Therefore, it thinks there is something wrong and tries to undo the
result of the filter.
If you add the `i' flag, procmail will ignore this error and proceed
normally with only the first 20 lines.
