In case it wasn't obvious to procmail/Maildir newbies, this is the
important point.  You *must* use the trailing slash to specify a
directory otherwise procmail will make a mbox-style mailbox instead of
Maildir.

I don't think the grammer for this is very well thought out, but
procmail has been around longer than Maildir so it really is a hack to
make things work.  I don't want to think about how the procmail authors
are going to try to make things scale should new mailbox formats be
invented.
