Ahh.. okay.

I had a script somewhere that 're-procmailed' an mbox file, I'll see if 
I can find it.

Not sure if procmail can do this with a maildir. You might want to look 
at Mail::Audit (by Simon Couzens) which might be more flexible.

I'll be honest, these days I let a GUI app do this all for me (mail.app 
in my case). Too much other shit going on to worry about filtering 
rules :-)
