Isn't something named /home/$LOGNAME likely to be a directory? Well,
I guess ORGMAIL could point to a directory; certainly DEFAULT can.
Well, I didn't check that, but I guess procmail would take it as a
MH folder in that case. Or does it look for things like .mh_sequences
before delivering to MH folders?
