Procmail is ready for it: that's why the -m option preserves the rest of its
positional parameters. The problem is that MTAs don't have a way to run a
message through another program.
Some MUAs do: good old Unix Mail and mailx, Pine, and Mutt for examples all
let the user override the MTA definition. By setting it to procmail -m
some_rcfile_intended_for_outbound_mail (or to an rcfile with execute
permission that starts with a hash-bang line invoking procmail -m) and
having that rcfile end with
:0
! "$@"
to deliver the processed message to the real MTA, you get all the benefits
of procmail on outgoing mail.
But if the MUA has no hook for overriding the MTA definition, the user can't
do that.
