Well it was working for most messages, but not all.  I found a cryptic 
message by googling that implied I should not use the systemwide 
/etc/procmailrc file to specify delivery to maildir boxes, so I disabled 
that and put the delivery information into individual .procmailrc files 
in each user's home directory.  That seems to have fixed it.  Not very 
comforting, but it works.

Thanks, Mark
