CAREFULLY look at that line.

The confusion for users trying to understand procmail is its misuse of
some words and the use of when you can or should use a colon.

I'm using maildir formatted mailboxes herein lies the confusion, man
says you don't need lockfile.

I fix the above recipe to implictedly use a lockfile by stating:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock 
Supposedly, problem fixed but then do I also do

:0 a: for that flag in the same recipe? I don't know the man is not
clear. It says I don't need it and so does Nancy's tutorial. 

Perhaps, this comes from experience.


but my log says:
        procmail: Skipped "msgid.lock"

I've seen these:
# Remove duplicate mails (older formail)
:0 Wh: msgid.lock

CAREFULLY look at this line.

Open up 'man procmail' and parse each one, token by token.
