Read about the `i' flag in the procmailrc(5) man page. In short, chown
doesn't read, nor need to read, any of the message text. When an action line
in a procmail recipe doesn't accept the entire text fed to it (the head if the
`h' flag is present, the body if the `b' flag is in use, or the entire message
if you use neither of the two flags or both of them), procmail believes
something went wrong. Using the `i' flag tells procmail not to expect the
entire text to be read.
Short answer: add an `i' flag to the call to chown, or put the call to chown
in a dummy backtick assignment, or put the call to chown into a TRAP.
