User is "charles", group is "none" under WinXP

I've no idea which userId procmail uses.  I don't do anything in
.fetchmailrc or .procmailrc that changes it.  Does this mean it uses my
userid?

I'm trying to use the latest downloaded versions.  On the Win9x machine,
I'm still using Mutt 1.25i, as later versions don't seem to like FAT32
partitions.  Fetchmail and procmail are the same on both machines.
