What does "then the text will not have been filtered." mean?

It means that the ACTION of that specific recipe FAILED. (for purposes
of  the 'e' and 'a' flags).

It also means that procmail ignores the output from the filter and instead recovers the original message from a cache copy that it made just before
piping to the filter.

Yes, good catch. I meant to say that. In fact, I thought I did. Must have edited to enthusiastically. Or simply imagined it.

That is, of course, the primary effect of 'w' flag for 99% of uses. Doh.
