It may have been created some other way: by saving a message there with the
MUA, by touching it from the shell, or even by procmail back when there were
no CRs in the rcfile. Or a previous attempt could have created testing<CR>,
which Luke saw as "testing?". Then he did mv testing? testing and the
question mark, as a shell globbing wildcard, matched the CR and the file was
renamed, but with the next message procmail created testing<CR> again. So
my theory is still plausible.
Luke's second post, though, doesn't mention that the folder without a
question mark showing on its name already existed.
Sean told Dave Vrona,

Yes, that's what I've already said in my answer to Dave:
: So take the `c' off the second set of braces and
: change the `f' on the formail-into-sendmail recipe to a `c'.
