This is a kmail thing.  The solution is to have procmail deliver to
/home/user/Mail/.file1, .file2..., etc., and then have kmail collect from
those files and put them into /home/user/Mail/file1, file2, etc.  A lttle
cumbersome, but it works just fine.

Can anyone recommend a linux mail reader that handles the new mail 
notifications properly after procmail dumps the mail into an MBOX formatted 
system, and integrates well with PGP?

I like the look and feel of Sylpheed, but it uses the MH format.

Robin- I appreciate your suggestion for getting KMail to work.  I tried it 
that way and it worked, but I decided it's too annoying for me to create a 
local account for every mailbox, and then be forced to direct all mail to a 
top level folder.  (I could not get it to deliver to lower level folders.) 

The one thing I'll miss about KMail is the way it color codes each layer of 
quoting.  Are there any other mail readers that do this?

Mutt?  I'm pretty sure it could be customised to colour as you want
it.  It certainly manages procmail sorted mail well and works with
PGP.
