formail -l question

Newbie question:

I can't seem to get "formail -l" to function properly.  According to the man
page, it should allow me to type,

  $ formail -l <folder>

and generate a log summary in procmail-style.  E.g., 

  $ formail -l /var/mail/<username> 

should give me a log summary, right?

I've tried it with several different versions of procmail on several Solaris
servers, but I get the same results.  The command "hangs" as though it is
waiting for more input.

What am I doing wrong?  (I read where this had been an undocumented option until
recently.)

Thanks,

Phil
