If I use

	:0:
	* ^(From|Cc:|To:).*linux-kernel@vger\.kernel\.org
	$LOGNAME/mailing\ lists/vger.kernel.org/a/b/c/linux-kernel/

and a/b/c doesn't exist, then an incoming EMail matching this
rule becomes inaccessible. It is not lost, but it is stored
somewhere in mbox format. This is surely not correct.
