loss, since again other messages have been processed. Looking at my
log file though, their header was always "ATLANTIS ZEITUNG" and not
"atlantis zeitung" as in this problematic mail.
Another thought: my version is procmail v2.91 1993/07/02 - perhaps it
I finally checked the procmail HISTORY file, and sure enough, grepping
for "case" gives:
1994/08/30: v3.06
Changes to procmail:
- Fixed a bug which was present since v2.30: 'z' was always
handled case sensitive (seems like not many people use

For what it's worth, I'm running 2.71 here at the University, and it
worked just fine. I sent some test results to Alex in private. The
change history seems incorrect here.
I found a version 2.92preSomething running on a machine at work
(we're talking professional admins here -- only the hobbyists and the
devoted are running recent versions, it seems ;^) and it had the bug.
So I guess Alex' 2.91 probably has the same bug as well.
