Bob Holtzman wondered how this used to work in his .procmailrc:

| LOGFILE=$PMDIR/.procmail.log
| PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail

and keep a logfile in $HOME/Procmail/procmail.log even though PMDIR was not
yet defined when LOGFILE was assigned.

My first guess: maybe there was a line in /etc/procmailrc defining PMDIR.

Pretty good guess except that there has never been a /etc/procmailrc (it 
doesn't show up when "locate procmailrc" is run). Even if it did exist,
why didn't it work before I changed $HOME/.procmailrc?

Thanks for taking a crack at it.
