I think you are misinterpreting something. The above is the path to
the formail binary, correct? So, it cannot help here at all. Change it
to /usr/local/bin and the next one will probably not be necessary.

FORMAIL="/usr/local/bin/formail"

*This* is the one which makes it work for you at the moment.

I thought the same thing, and started to write it, and then
deleted my paragraph after I did an experiment.  I put this in
my shell (tcsh) path:

 /usr/local/subversion-1.0.3/bin/svn

"svn" is a binary.  The "subversion" thing is not normally in
my path.  (And the program set was added to the system yesterday.)

Anyway, it does work.  Typing "svn" gets me the binary.

Otoh, I agree that Jack never showed the raw command "formail" in
his rc after that point, but always used "$FORMAIL", so you are
right that that is the one that made it work for him.  But
the other does work to allow him to use formail, interestingly.

As a follow-up, if you looked at my includes, you will see the raw formail
used there. They would not work without adding formail to the path.

Now, lastly, I replaced $FORMAIL with just "formail" also in my procmailrc
and it works just fine now too -- as one ought to expect.

Only question would be "which is more efficient?.....$FORMAIL or just
formail with path-add."
