I recently subscribed to a digested mailing list, and added the
following rule to split it into individual messages:

   :0:
   * ^Subject: SAMBA digest
   * ^From:(_dot_)*samba(_at_)arvidsjaur\(_dot_)anu\(_dot_)edu\(_dot_)au
   | formail +1 -ds >>samba

This works great except for one thing:  the individual messages inside
the digest don't get filtered at all (for things that I don't even
want to see).
I'm thinking that changing the formail line to explicitly call
procmail for each message might work:

   | formail +1 -ds procmail

but is there a better way built into procmail or formail?

Nope, you got it.  You should remove the second colon on the recipe, as
this action doesn't need a locallockfile.
