the simplest, to my knowledge, way of catching an empty or
blank or just-angle-brackets header. This is it:

/dev/null
Is the lock necessary with /dev/null?
No. Thanks for checking. I had had a regular file down there on
the action line for testing. But I saw that the OP had /dev/null
there, and I swapped that line out at the last second when I sent
the post.
That said, it has, I believe, been stated to me in the past by
someone who studied the source code that procmail makes a special
case for /dev/null and won't try to lock it even if one puts a
local lockfile on the recipe. So ultimately it shouldn't matter.
