Actually you don't need ANY .forward fo rprocmail to work, as long as
you have a .procmailrc file in your homedir.  Debian uses is as a
user-agent.

Phil:  Where have you got elm looking?  From your .procmailrc, most
of the mail is going to end up in you original mbox in something
like /var/spool/mail/yourusername.  Check there?
