What I notice is that there are several lines which don't have proper 
newline breaks in them.  Perhaps you should ensure that your procmailrc 
file isn't similarly hosed, though I'm guessing that your mail client or 
sending mail server is actually to blame for this malformed post.

Your posted message formatting is so hosed that if your problem weren't so 
trivial, it wouldn't be worth diagnosing until there's a copy posted with 
properly formatted linebreaks, etc.  Barring that, posting files to a 
webspace can be beneficial.

I so very hope that your post isn't representative of a "typical" message 
from Eudora 5.2.1

Because a SINGLE DOT matches a SINGLE CHARACTER.  Try putting an asterisk 
after the dot in the From:  (and properly escaping the two dots which are 
intended to match real dots).  I suspect your prolem with the morningstar 
one is similar, but your boffed MUA makes it difficult to know for sure.
