Well, it appears that:
listname | formail -rxx-list-id:
Will not assign the contents of the field to the var "listname", as the
v3.10 "procmailrc" says it will do.
Either something has changed, or there is a character missing from this
version of the man page.
I'm going to check other procmailrc man pages, to see what's going on.
Thanks for clearing that up

If I understand your intent correct, the above is not going to work. In
particular, this looks odd to me:
listname | formail -rxx-list-id:
That looks like you really meant:
listname=| formail -rxx-list-id:
Which would extract the list name into the 'listname' variable, but still
wouldn't save the message to a folder. Once you've set up the variable,
you need to *use* it somewhere. I thought something like this would work
better:
# If there's an x-list-id: header, extract the value and then use
# it as the name of a mail folder.
:0
* ^x-list-id: \/.*
$MATCH
# Otherwise, put it in the noname folder.
:0E
noname
I've tested this, and it seems to work as intended (or at least, as I
interpreted the original message).
