You only want to look at the header here, though I've never heard of this bug.

Really?

I had a problem that traced back to that very same mistake:

What does this line mean in my procmail logfile?

    procmail: Extraneous deliver-head flag ignored

It means you have an `h' flag on a recipe whose action is a left brace. 
 If you're opening a braced block, you can't send only the head or only 
the body into it.  Individual recipes inside the braces might use only 
the head or only the body, but that's to be determined for each recipe 
inside the braces, not for the whole braced area at once.
