Re: carbon copy (c) doesn't work

Walfredo Cirne Filho was trying,

| :O c:

That should be :0c:, Walfredo; not the letter O but the digit 0.  There is
no legal `O' flag, so procmail told you in the logfile that it skipped the
rest of the line and didn't see the `c' (nor the request for a local lockfile).

| * ^TOcomps-l
| INBOX
|    
| :O:

That, too, should be a zero, not the letter O.  And you'd be better off
using the `A' flag than repeating the condition.

| * ^TOcomps-l
| COMPS-L

So let's start over and rewrite those two recipes:

 :0c:
 * ^TOcomps-l
 INBOX
  :0A:
  COMPS-L

That will save mail visibly addressed to comps-l in both $MAILDIR/INBOX and
$MAILDIR/COMPS-L.  

Now the next matter comes up about whether visible addresses are the best way
to spot mail that came through a mailing list, but I think that's a question
for another occasion.
