( Excuse me if this has been covered in previous discussions; if so, point
me to the PROCMAIL archives. )

Is the above considerably more efficient (and processor/mail-server
CPU/MEM friendly) for defining "$SUBJECT" and "$FROM" than calling
`formail` to do the "From" and "Subject:" extraction into variables like I
normally do.  It would seem so (no external shells/programs called), and
therefore something I should implement.  It is (to me) definitely more
"human obfuscatory" in the above way :^).

Lates!
