Mis-information in procmailed?

It can't be; thus my idea of how the software works is extremly wrong.:)

Extract from procmailex:

To store mail from Peter about Compilers in 'petcompile':

:0:
* ^From.*Peter
* ^Subject:.*Compilers
petcompile

Here's the problem I have with it:

Unless I miss my guess, the following message would also be stored in
petcompile:

From: Luke Davis <ldavis(_at_)dynanet(_dot_)com>
Subject: info about compilers:

Message-Text

I come up with that by the facts that the message has to match any *1* of
the afirmitive conditions, and will only be rejected if 1) it matches
*none* of the afirmitive conditions, and 2) does match any *1* of the
negative conditions.
If that's so, then any mail from peter, or any mail relating to compilers
*will* go in petcompilers...

I don't want to say the document is wrong; but for it to be right, I have
just spent a month writing a script to do server processing;for which I
will not be payd, because it won't work.:)
