   In the absence of a blank line delimiting procmail log records,
is there an easy way to identify email boundaries?

How about:

LOG="

THIS IS A NEW ONE

"

near the top of your procmailrc.

And a global lockfile before that so that you get only one procmail at
once:

LOCKFILE=$PMDIR/testing.lock

Or you could use just

LOG="
"

which is good enough for me. This is one of the things I suggest
in my Procmail Quick Start in the Troubleshooting section, which
is here

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#fullLog>

I've had these two lines in my .procmailrc for a while and I
constantly monitor my log using `tail -f'  and haven't noticed
any collisions of message logs so I don't think you need a global
LOCKFILE (but I'd like to know if you do!).

HTH,
