When ASK reaches this point, all it does is copy the message to stdout.
Procmail will do the actial job of delivering this message. If we had a
traceback or something similar, you would not see this message in your log
file.

This is indeed *very* strange. You can see that ASK delivered your
message to procmail and procmail saved and message to the /var/mail/me
folder. The message *should* be there. ASK delivered it, procmail
delivered it. Do you have anything else modifying your mailbox? imap
servers?
