I'm new in Procmail but the possibilities seem endless. As i've just
started using procmail my email-backups are unsorted and stuffy (or old).
Is it possible to parse my email-backups through procmail to be re-sorted 
by newly created sorting-rules (date, type etc) ?

Yuppers indeedy.

I do some moderately elaborate filing --- mailing lists I subscribe to get
filed into separate folders, a goodly proportion of spam is automatically
filed as such, etc. I made a typo in a recent change to my .procmailrc (left
out a "*") and all email for a day or so was shoved into a mailbox named
"^Sender:". So I moved that aside, fixed the typo, and ran

        formail -s procmail <big-unsorted-mbox

and shazam there was all my email where it belonged. Cool beans.
