Logging $MATCH

1997-05-17 08:35:00

I am having difficulty comprehending the use of the $MATCH variable in
procmail recipes. I have read the two brief mentions of it in the man
pages, and looked at the examples, but it is not clear to me how it works.
If I have a recipe such as this: 

:0:
* ^From.*(moe|larry|curly|shemp)@stooge\.net
mail/stooges

I would like to know what matched when this recipe succeeds, and log it. 
The above is a simple recipe - some of mine are very long and it's not
always obvious what matched.

How would you rewrite the above recipe condition using the "\/" mechanism,
to that I could have the block

{
 LOG="$MATCH
"
 :0
 mail/stooges
} 

Thank you,
