Same problem with LOGABSTRACT: it is unset at startup.

Moreover, the manual does not say how to revert to the default behaviour
after having set LOGABSTRACT.  By trial and error I discovered that
setting it to "yes" does the trick.

Another report from Francesco.

Should I consider this as a bug?

The reason LOGABSTRACT is not set, is because procmail tries not to
contaminate the existing environment more than necessary.
If it is unclear from the existing docs that setting it to yes will
revert to the old behaviour, then that should be clarified.
