I go the other way; I have a file like this:
mutt Mutt-Users sender:owner-mutt-users@xxxxxxxx
and generate the .procmailrc from that. Column 1 is the folder name,
column 2 gets inserted as an X-Label header (I mix several lists in one
folder sometimes) and column 3 generates a procmail condition.
It makes maintaining a large .procmailrc much easier.
This is the converter:

It feels like a setup where someone could damage your mutt config just
be sending you email:-)
Personally I rarely both with step 2.
