1. What conforms most closely to the TO_ macro for "from" fields? The
corresponding one would probably have been called FROM_ if it were
This discussion comes up every so often - Stephan has indicated that
there will not be a FROM_ macro in procmail. The work-around I
gleaned from a previous iteration of this discussion is
# Like procmail's ^TO, but for From: and CC: lines
# The extra outer layer of parentheses are so that one can use forms like
# ${FROM}* or ${FROM}+ or ${FROM}?.
CC="(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(Cc|Bcc)):(.*[^a-zA-Z])?)"
FROM="(^((X-(Envelope-)?)?(Apparently-|Resent-)*(From|Reply-To|Sender):\
(.*[^-a-z0-9_])?|From ([^ ]*[-_(_at_)!(_dot_)])?))"
