Thanks for that Dan.

After having done some more reading, it seems private procmailrc
files are processed -after- the global procmailrc files.

I want to have all the users mail sent directly from the global 
procmailrc file to their mailboxes - that's no problem. Then I want
to single out, say one user in the global procmailrc file and have
that mail look at the personal .procmailrc file.   

You can send mail to a mailbox for a specific condition,
but you can't send mail to the private .procmailrc for processing
based on a condition - at least that's how it looks from where I sit.
