This is dangerous, as it leaves you open to mail loss. A better solution
is in the procmailex man page.
what do you mean? this *is* the example from the procmailrc manpage.
maybe i need a newer procmail (v3.11pre7 1997/04/28 looks old)?
It is possible that this changed after 3.11pre7. The current man page
presents two recipes: the one that was posted, an explanation why this
is bad, and an improved recipe which saves dupes to a folder.
