Aha, this is helpful -- I think.  When I run "cat test.mbox |
procmail -m e:/.procmailrc", I get:

| procmail: [1432] Wed Oct 23 11:00:53 2002
| procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all"

| procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=./MBOX2"
| procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log"

..even though "echo $HOME" in a Bash window confirms that 
$HOME is "/cygdrive/e".

So I edited .procmailrc, changing

| MAILDIR=$HOME/uc
| PMDIR=$HOME/u/procmail

to

| MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc
| PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail

And running "cat test.mbox | procmail -m e:/.procmailrc" again, I got:

| procmail: [2044] Wed Oct 23 11:12:28 2002
| procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all"
| procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc"
| procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail"
| procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/cygdrive/e/uc/MBOX2"
| procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log"
| procmail: Opening "/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log"

..and the procmail.log showed everything as it should.
However, incoming messages are still not directed to files
as called for in the recipes...
