* DNSBL lookups

Everything else on your list I can go with, but this is way outside  
the scope of procmail and I would NOT want to see it included.  There  
are other tools out there that already integrate well with procmail  
that can handle DNSBL.  And that's ignoring the fact that DNSBL  
should be handled at the SMTP transaction phase and NOT at the LDA  
phase...

* handling encoding specifications in headers - they tend to just  
throw
  everything

Full MIME support, in fact.

* having formail as a separate program seems rather silly

Perhaps, but it certainly makes some things rather good, and the  
logic of it makes sense to me.  I don't see how it hurts anything, at  
least.

* multipart msg handling, so one can examine e.g. the part-headers  
directly

Yep.  That would be great.
