I became suspicious that I should have received a certain message, and reading pm.log I discovered that it had indeed arrived and had been allocated to /var/mail/anne, despite procmailrc telling it that

MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir/

Any idea what might have caused this? It seems to have been working like this only in the last 24 hours or so.

Also, since /var/mail/anne is mbox and /home/anne/Maildir/ is maildir, I need to find a way of getting the messages into the correct directory. I could clip them into separate files, but I assume that the cryptic names of files are used for indexing.
