The missing 'F' problem is NOT A BUG IN PROCMAIL.  It is a sign that
either:
a) none of the locking methods used by procmail are working (so that

b) that some other program is accessing the mailbox without using a
   locking method in common with procmail.

Hmm.  At least one of the reports on the spamassassin list claims that
this has happened to mailboxes that are written only by procmail and that
have not otherwise been accessed in weeks (prior to the corruption being
noticed, that is).

I'll forward your message along to spamassassin-talk, if you don't mind?
