Doesn't it have to be

No. It's a state. In the /etc/procmailrc, privileges are elevated.
That ends when either (a) the rc-file ends; (b) there is delivery;
or DROPPRIVS is invoked.
Yes, I know, but unsetting it is not the way to invoke it. Per the
procmailrc(5) man page,
DROPPRIVS If set to `yes' procmail will drop all privi-
leges it might have had (suid or sgid). This
is only useful if you want to guarantee that
the bottom half of the /etc/procmailrc file is
executed on behalf of the recipient.
Sorry, Dallman, but that supports my position. Throwing the word out
there naked does not set the variable to "yes"; it unsets the variable,
which probably has no effect in this particular case.
Okay. You are right! (As usual.) Thanks for clarifying.
