I figured as much... I never installed procmail knowingly, but I checked
synaptic anyway to make sure it hadnt gotten snapped up as a
dependency/recommends or something... according to that, procmail is not
installed on my computer.

This was what I did the first time... no ~/.procmailrc in my home. I
also did a 'locate procmail' to see if there were other items on my
computer that might fit the bill...here's what came up:

        andrew at BEC-LIN:~$ locate procmail
        /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/700_exim4-config_procmail
        /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_procmail_pipe
        /usr/share/doc/bogofilter-common/examples/procmailrc.example
        /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/bts_autosubscription.procmail
        /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/debian.procmail.gz
        /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/forward.procmail
        /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/master.procmail
        /usr/share/vim/vim72/ftplugin/procmail.vim
        /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/procmail.vim
        andrew at BEC-LIN:~$

I forgot that I've got the bogo spam filter installed... could
bogofilter have generated that folder during an update or something?
There were a few updates yesterday, but none of them were for bogo...
