My mistake.  It did just display and exit.  The appended message
was indeed from the next command I executed (below).

I have had logs set up all along, and have now made them verbose.
When I execute

   =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 procmail -d tbaker <test.mbox

-- On the netbook, it gets correctly delivered by procmail and verbosely
   described in the log.

-- On the desktop, the message gets appended to /var/spool/mail/TBaker,
   and nothing is written into the log.  None of the tests I have done
   on the desktop have been recorded in the log. The same log
   directory exists on both machines - I have been using the same
   log filename for several years as the entire directory structure
   got passed back and forth between the two machines.
