In a .procmailrc file is there any way to check for directory if it

Here's what I use (after long discussion on this list).
:0: $HOME/lock
$LISTNAME/$MYDATE.$LISTNAME
# if the action failed, probably the directory does not
# exist, so create it
:0eW
{
LOG="FAILED WRITE $LISTNAME$NL"
MAKENEWDIR=`test -d $MLDIR/$LISTNAME || mkdir -p $MLDIR/
$LISTNAME/`
}
# Now save the message again
:0a:
$MLDIR/$LISTNAME/$MYDATE.$LISTNAME
# If we get this far, something is quite wrong.
# Still failed? Better save the message somewhere we can check it
:0
{
LOG="FAILED WRITE NEW DIRECTORY$NL"
:0: $HOME/lock
$MLDIR/FAILED_LIST_SORT
}
It's been working for years without ever hitting the FAILED_LIST_SORT
