I got the missing messages with the fictionary-get command and found out why 
my procmail script discarded them: they are written in HTML and are not 
multipart. Messages like that are almost all spam; the only exception I've 
had in the past has been messages from a certain dating site.

I accept multipart text/plain and text/html messages but set my mail client to 
show only the text/plain part for security reasons. When I get a mail in 
text/html only, it shows the HTML code, which is messy, but I'd rather see 
the code than run the risk of running a virus embedded in it. I run Linux, 
which doesn't get viruses, but someone might write a Java virus that does 
affect Linux and send it via email.
