I found that same example mnths ago when setting up procmail.  In the
course of getting it setup and posting here about how to do so, I
found out I didn't need it and have been running for months with out
it.

Current code for procmail is:

;; ********** begin procmail *********
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
(setq mail-sources
      '((file      :path "/var/spool/mail/reader")
        (directory :path "/home/reader/spool/"
                   :suffix ".in")))
;;********** end procmail ******
