That's it!!!  

I created the directory /home/tbaker and copied e:/.procmail
there, and suddenly everything works again!

Bjoern suggested I map /home/tbaker to /cygdrive/e with
"mount".  Would this allow me to delete the redundant copy
/home/tbaker/.procmailrc and just use /cygdrive/e/.procmailrc?
Would this "mount" command go into my .bash_profile?  (Any
particular flags to use?)

Many thanks!
Tom
