If spam-ham-mixed is just one file, then the only improvement to the
above would be to avoid the "useless use of cat":

    formail -e -s procmail -p -m ${sandbox}/.prc < spam-ham-mixed

The -p is the answer to your other problem:

Sorry about that.  You need the -p option to procmail so that it
doesn't erase the environment variables that formail sets up.
