I can't find a "delete all in folder" command, but there is a "delete
thread" command: ctrl-d. Start at the top, and hold down ctrl-d, and
it shouldn't take long before you have everything deleted.
That's what I use on those "I haven't had time to read debian-user in
the past week, I better 'catch up'" days, anyway.
Alternatively, you could probably just delete the file. Procmail will
happily recreate it next time it filters mail to it.
