EDIT an email?  Surely you mean view the headers of a received message?
Procmail isn't used for sent mail, unless you're invoking it as a
generic mail filter via a feature of your MUA, and even then, that
should occur AFTER you've edited, not when you edit.

Hi Sean,

No I mean actually edit an email. This is a feature in Mutt, where you can
actually press "e" and you are in the edit mode of an email that is
already stored, in my case by Maildir, after it has been delivered. I do
this many times to trim messages for redundant info, so the message is
stored clean, with just the info that I need. This saves tons of space.

at the top, I see 2 From's ... I just cannot figure this one out. I
have checked out my rc file thoroughly, and cannot find anything that
can be causing this.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be occurring?

1. Have you tried inspecting the message in the mailspool via a pager,
rather than Mutt?  Preferrably messages received AFTER you've last run
Mutt.

No mailspool.. /Maildir/ format, individual emails stored in a dir, sorry
I should have mentioned this earlier..

2. Have you tried temporarily disabling your procmailrc and seeing
whether the problem persists?

Yes, and it does not persist.

3. Have you tried preparing a test message and throwing it at your
filters running within a SANDBOX framework?  Don't know what a SANDBOX
is?  Follow the link in my .sig.

Yes, I have set them up previously, years ago, as per your instructions..
It happens with any mail transferred by my rules from my servers, or any
servers..

4. Are you running 'f'ilter rules?  These are most likely to introduce
new headers - say if the original ones aren't kosher.

No rules, straight qmail > procmail > into many /Maildirs/ (using safecat

5. Surely you're not confusing "From " with "From:"?

Yes, example below:

From procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE Mon Jan 20 04:38:21 
2003
From procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE Mon Jan 20 04:38:21 
2003
Return-Path: <procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE>

This is at the top of every email that I see in "edit" mode of Mutt.
