I've got a problem with "cat folder | formail -s procmail".  formail thinks
"folder" is just one big message because none of the "From " lines have blank
lines before them.  Doesn't the RFC require this?  Is this a VM problem or is
something wrong with formail?  I'm using procmail v3.11pre7.

To quote the formail manpage:

     -e   Do not require empty lines to be preceding  the  header
          of  a  new  message  (i.e.  the messages could start on
          every line).

So you should try:

        formail -es procmail < folder
