[ILUG] vim embedded filetype

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

using vim and I've found that my procmail recipes, kept in
~/.procmail/rc.mail

are not detected as a procmail file (presumably because of the name) and so
the syntax highlighting isn't there.  The filetype variable is empty.

So I added:

# vim: ft=procmail :

to the top of the file.  Now, the filetype variable is set to "conf" and
syntax highlighting starts but unsurprisingly it's the wrong one.

Anyone know what this can be?  I don't have any filetype settings (bar
filetype on which makes no difference) in my ~/.vimrc but it's included
below anyway.

Thanks
Gavin
