I'm mostly interested in answering the question "which folder did the recent 
msg 
FROM address@hidden go into?"  So, really, I still think a patch is needed.

I just pinged the procmail ML.  Earl's URL...

  http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/procmail         

...works.  The Google found address...

  address@hidden

...did not (bounced "over quota".)

Regardless, I have queued up this winter break and/or a snow storm.  It's
pretty clear glancing at the code that this isn't possible.

[BTW, in the procmail ML archives I stumbled on a discussion for "modern"
replacements and it seems there's isn't one.  Appearently "maildrop" comes
close but doesn't allow for e.g. rewritting Subject, IIRC.]
