In case it's not clear, the reason to use .* instead of just a space 
is that the way From headers are typically sent is like this:

     From: <user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

or

     From: User Name <user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

...and so you can have lots of cruft in between the "From:" and the 
email address EVEN IF MUTT DOESN'T SHOW IT TO YOU. Mutt makes the From 
header look a little prettier than the raw email, and that can be 
deceptive. :)

If you want to see the email in the form that procmail does, try 
pressing the e key in mutt when you view a message (don't save any 
inadvertent changes when you close your editor, though!).
