I just caught Bart's post before sending this, and his approach of using 
TRAP seems much better.

Yup.  The logic is fine, too: procmail already saved as that filename,
so it's unique, and sticking "2,S" on the end by whatever method -- whether
the mail client or procmail did it -- is going to be find.

Come to think of it, isn't that syntax Bart posted sort of familiar?
Let's see:

That was me on the 24th of August, but I didn't yet think of using TRAP.
David Tamkin had thought of it already on the 23rd of August, though:

Timothy, did you not see those posts?
