If the condition is matched, evrything _after_ the \/ will be fed into
the variable MATCH for later use. Reading from procmailrc manpage
under "Extended regular expressions". 

    \/
        Splits the expression into two parts. Everything matching the
        right part will be assigned to the MATCH environment variable.
