FWIW my vote is -1 to making major changes to procmail.

  And for whatever little mine is worth as a procmail user not a procmail
developer, I agree. If you want to create a new application, bloated with
features and riddled with problems, I'd say go for it. procmail is currently
what I believe _all_ software should be; a small tool efficiently fulfilling
its stated purpose without branching off into others not originally
conceived.

BUT IT ISN'T DOING THAT.

There are some very simple things that procmail can't do without calls to 
external processes.

How do I sort mail to $MAILDIR/YYYYMMDD ? I run date(1).

                  DATE=`formail -IDate:`
                  FOLDER=`date --date="$DATE" +%Y%m%d`
                
                  :0
                  .$FOLDER/
                }

Exp. 2:         FOLDER=`date +%YYYY%mm%dd`

                :0
                $FOLDER/
