:The w flag tells Procmail to ignore write errors to the pipe. If you try
:this with a short enough message, Procmail never gets the chance to notice
:the write error to the pipe, but the fact is that the echo doesn't read its
:input and Procmail will "salvage" the original message body if it detects
:this via a write error (and so the replacement will not happen after all).
No, w tells procmail to wait and check the return code from the
command to which the data is being piped; if nonzero, then the
filtering is considered to have failed, and the unmodified letter
lives to fight another day.
Your description is exactly right, though, for the i switch.
