poor user disable this feature? Similar feature exists in formail, but it

I'm not sure where you're seeing this in the manpage. Could you please
quote the relevant text from the manpage?
`man procmail` says:
MISCELLANEOUS
...
When in explicit delivery mode, procmail will generate a leading `From '
line if none is present. If one is already present procmail will leave it
intact. If procmail is not invoked with one of the following user or group
ids : root, daemon, uucp, mail, x400, network, list, slist, lists or news,
but still has to generate or accept a new `From ' line, it will generate an
additional `>From ' line to help distinguish fake mails.
Ah. That's in reference to the generating of a leading "From " line.
If procmail doesn't think it can trust you, it adds both a "From " with
what you specified via the -f flag and immeadiately after it, a ">From "
line with your username. That doesn't affect the escaping of "From "
lines in the body.
