Ahhhh, I guess I hadn't been as clear as I could have been. I have an
almost identical setup to yours right now and that allows me to use
procmail to deliver to maildir...  The problem I have is that I want to
use formail to split my digests into individual messages (because large
digests play havoc with IMAP, and to make replies easier) - but I can
only find documentation showing how to use formail to split digests into
mbox format.  Unsurprisingly the silly attempt below doesn't work (as "|
formail..." is interpreted by /bin/sh.) :

Is formail the right tool for me to use here?  Is there a tool to
deliver an mbox of messages to a maildir that I can use in place of '>>
gentoo_user/' above?
