In fact, in present day Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), I have seen many doorposts
with a "sunken in" mezuzah. I've even seen it thus in some places in NYC.

A correction or my previous posting on this subject :
the source in the Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah, for these halachos is simanim
(sections) 285-291. These are preceded by the halachos of Sefer Torah, simanim
270-284.
