When I try to process it, this is what appears in the procmail log:


: `^H^C^L^A.ZP^B^L^B..a^H^C^T: not found

I'm guessing it is some sort of POSIX thing (NeXTStep has never liked
POSIX). I could not figure out what was causing the problem, whether it
was procmail itself or appnmail (a NeXTStep program).

Just to narrow it down: feeding that message directly to either
appnmail or procmail just works.  When I fed it through

        formail -s -e /path/to/procmail

similar symptoms occurred (and the messages was not delivered).

Here's an excerpt of my test session:
