The |cat >junk.mail  is a test of piping the mail to a command,
something simple.

Free tip:  if you want to test SOMETHING, test SOMETHING... don't test  
somethingELSE if you want to see how SOMETHING works...

However, I also have this later on in my .procmailrc:

:0 c                          
| /usr/ucb/vacation snowe

Piping mail to a program works OK here.

that's because cat and vacation deal differently.....
