   For the time at which procmail handles the message:
   
TIME=`date '+%H:%M:%S'`

   Now you can use $TIME repeatedly in the procmailrc.

   Alternatively, you could use the MATCH operator to extract the arrival time
from the topmost "Received:" header line. (Not that there'd normally be a great
deal of difference.)
