ahve followed ..what I believe to be correct :)
it now finds the file
but makes message header called name and puts it in same directory as the
file
:0

:0 fhw # reverse mailheader and extract
name
* ^Subject: send file \/[^ ]*

what am I doing wrong????
Your editor is wrapping the lines, as shown above. Thus procmail sees:
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # comment....
directory
:0fhw # comment....
name
* ^Subject: etc....
The plain word "directory" is interpreted as a request to unset the
variable "directory", while "name" looks like the action of the recipe
that starts with ":0fhw".
The simplest solution is probably to not indent everything so deeply.
Two tabs (16 spaces) seems a big much. The other choice is to turn off
automatic line wrapping in your editor. Either way, be sure to
'unwrap' the comments that it has already broken, by putting
"directory" and "name" back on the lines that precede them right now.
