| What's the easiest way to take a single-file mailfolder (of already

| No headers, file name doesn't matter--as long as it's unique.
| Directory for files may be in recipe.

The need to lose the heads and save only the bodies requires an rcfile.
If we could have kept the heads we could have done it without an rcfile:
mkdir directory_name
formail -ns procmail DEFAULT=directory_name/ /dev/null < folder &
This time I have a reason to keep the heads. But the above paused for
a while, and then
procmail: Lock failure on "directory_name/.lock"
I took the trailing slash from directory_name and tried again. This time,
no pause, no error message, and directory_name is still empty.
