When I open most common filetypes in vim, the filetype syntax
colours appear as expected. But when I try to open
/etc/procmailrc it just appears as all the one colour, as if the
filetype is not recognised.
In an attempt to get vim to automatically set the ft for it, I
added:
#EOF vim: set ft=procmail :
to the end of the file. But it still will not recognise it.
If I manually type :set ft=procmail in the open file, the syntax
colours do display correctly.
Any ideas?

Could it be, that modelines are disabled for you? Check your modeline
settings:
:verbose set ml? mls?
Anyway, it seems filetype.vim only detects .procmail and .procmailrc as
filetypes. There a couple of possibilities to have that fixed without
modelines. See help new-filetype.
The easiest solution is to create ~/.vim/ftdetect/procmail.vim and enter
au BufNewFile,BufRead procmailrc setfiletype procmail
and restart vim
You can also create your own filetype.vim file in your ~/.vim directory
and enter something like
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
finish
endif
augroup filetypedetect
au! BufRead,BufNewFile procmailrc setfiletype procmail
augroup END
See the help, for more possibilites.

I guess not. Checked the help and it seems modeline default is
ON for normal users, OFF for root. I tried opening
/etc/procmailrc as a normal user and indeed it does syntax colour
correctly, so that must be it. I guess.

Thanks very much for the options, Christian. Certainly should be
able to sort it out from here. Thanks.
