procmail to refilter all the individual messages contained in this mailbox? 

Use formail:  man formail
        <http://mirror.ncsa.uiuc.edu/procmail-faq/formail.0>

formail -b -s procmail < mailbox

should do the trick (you may or may-not want to use -b).  Make sure to move
the input mailbox somewhere so that it isn't the OUTPUT mailbox of any of
your procmail rules - if you don't, you could be in for a nasty loop.
