Hi everybody,

After reading manual pages for procmail, procmailex, procmailrc,
procmailsc, sendmail etc... 
pages we have tried to create a recipe. What it does is, if someone sends
us a mail with the 
word `cprofile' in the subject, first it would mail me at my new address,
second it should send
back the content of file `ctest' to the sender. If the word `cprofile' is
not found it would
simply forward the mail to my new address.

---- Recipe Starts Here ----

#a/h/a/haripati/.procmail/rc.testing

:0 c
* ^Subject:.*cprofile
! grenleaf(_at_)bom2(_dot_)vsnl(_dot_)net(_dot_)in

:0 
* ^Subject:.*cprofile
| ( formail -r ; cat ctest ) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t 

     :0 E
     ! grenleaf(_at_)bom2(_dot_)vsnl(_dot_)net(_dot_)in

---- Recipe Ends Here ----

My Problem :
Now suppose we receive a mail with the word `cprofile' in subject field.
It successfully passes
the message to my new email address. But does not pass the content of the
file `ctest' to the
sender. Where are we going wrong. I have created `ctest' file in my $HOME
directory and also
inside the "$HOME/.procmail/"

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

My "log" files reads as follows :
