As I think I mentioned in the December thread, procmail doesn't add any additional headers that a standard MTA would.  For example there is no "Date" header.

To add headers you can always use formail.  Not sure what exactly mutt is looking for...  But try this....

cat d1.letter | formail -a "Date: `date`" | procmail -f cron
