Yes, Recursive Catch 22, one need to be on list to get that header,
or find an owner address or subscribe mechanism detailed on web, 
but http://www.procmail.org/era/lists.html points at wrong address.

Probably, I tried various addresses, all black holes bar one, but
he/she's bound to be on this list too, & here cc'd [email protected].

Yes,
(It's quite possible for a list to operate, yet a sub/unsub mechanism
to be broken, but in this case once postmaster @ Aachen found 
right address, I subscribed via sub. mechanism, so that works
too, so it seems to be just http://www.procmail.org needs fixing).

Postmaster @ Aachen is a she,  I got the impression from her that
http://www.procmail.org pages were not her area.  Presumably that's
[email protected] who was one othe authors of procmail, cant
remember name, he might be [email protected] cd'd here for:


Please correct
        [email protected]
in
        http://www.procmail.org/era/lists.html

PS `whois procmail.org` shows:
	Registrant Email:[email protected]
	Admin Email:[email protected]
	Tech Email:[email protected]
