Hmm, that might be the best solution then, an upgrade to 1.2.  Fwiw, I 
also tried NOT using the dovecot-shared file and just relying on the 
UMASK=007 directive I put in .procmailrc to create the messages with the 
correct permissions..... and that worked!  Well, as far as the messages 
themselves go.  However, the dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, and 
dovecot-uidlist all got rewritten with only user permissions and created 
problems.  I'm guessing dovecot-shared is the only way to make sure 
those files keep their correct permissions?
