The blank line after "Lines: 85" ends the header; the rest, which
look like former header lines, are now in the body (as far as mbox
format is concerned).

Hence, mutt does not see the To: line in the "BAD" message since
it's after the blank line, so it shows the (first) From: line, which
is before the blank line.

I don't know how it might have got messed up; however, I speculate
that it may be related to that long Path: header present in the
"BAD" message.  (I'm suspicious because it appears to have been
truncated -- note that it ends with a "!" -- , and the amount that
came through is just under 256 characters.)

Hmmmm, I wonder, would $LINEBUF matter here?  I don't think it
should, but you might try something like
   LINEBUF=32000
at the top of your .procmailrc and see if you still get these.

I thought the blank lines looked suspicious too, but again not knowing
very much about this, I wasn't sure.

I've added the LINEBUF setting as you suggested, but it hasn't worked.
How can I get procmail to search the _entire_ message (body) for the
string:

    'To: comp.os.linux'

for example, instead of just the header? It doesn't seem like:

    :0:
    * To:.*comp.os.linux
    comp.os.linux

does what I want either.

BTW, thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate the
help.
