I'll add that I essentially never use the ^TO_/^TO macros,

use them, and I wouldn't want to say one shouldn't. It's just
a personal preference.
That's why I couldn't remember off the top of my head if the colon were
required. About the only macros I have ever used are ^FROM_DAEMON and
^FROM_MAILER. And I don't see either of those in my current .procmailrc.
If I'm interested in matching on a header it's generally a SPECIFIC header.

Even though my Procmail Quick Start walks users through setting
up recipes that use the '^TO_' macro, I also do not use it. But, I
think it is useful for newbies, especially if they understand all
the
Important Notes About Procmail's ^TO_ Macro
which I list here:
<http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#TO>
For example:
* Do not put a space or any character between ^TO_ and the email
address you are matching on; it must be ^TO_beginning-of-address
or ^TO_fully-qualified-address.
Hope this helps,
Nancy
