Yes, it would.
Actually, I am pretty set on procmail. I have a working knowledge of
it and plenty of resources for question, and I am in the midst of
learning too many other things to try to add sieve. I know it's

Maybe if there were a way to at least run my procmail recipes through
a converter I could reconsider it.
