Why might this be? because somehow Maildir is missing the Lines header. use this in your procmail: :0 Bfh * H ?? !^Lines: * -1^0 * 1^1 ^.*$ | formail -A "Lines: $=" > Also, is it possible for fetchmail to retrieve from a maildir folder? if you are running an appropriate POP3/IMAP server, such as courier-imap/pop3 or spop3d, which can deal with Maildir. other than that, you might even want to consider using rsync rather than fetchmail to get your mail... > when telneting to port 25.
