The whole trick is to tell procmail to create a standard mbox wherein
all Mails begin with a From-Header (without :). To achive this, you
have to start procmail with the option -f %F.

So add this to the poll-line in your .fetchmailrc, for example:

poll your_mail_account with proto POP3 user 'your_pop_user_name' there
       with password 'secret' is 'your_local_username' here options
       keep ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F"

That's all.

Bye,

Sven
