hmmm, I liked this suggestion because it seemed so simple:

formail -ds procmail < /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME

But testing it on my own mail file does not seem to be working, it's
just hung.  It's only 1Mg so I would not expect it to actually take long
to process.

On the other hand, you may have just hit the situation decribed in the
procmail man page:

      Watch out for deadlocks when  doing  unhealthy  things  like
      forwarding  mail to your own account.  Deadlocks can be bro-
      ken by proper use of LOCKTIMEOUT.
