Nope, as of version 3.11pre7 procmail does not grok "$*", nor does it grok
"$@" outside a pipe or forward action.  The only way to get the positional
parameters all quoted together into "$*" is something like this:

   ARGS=`echo "$@"`

and to use "$ARGS" instead of "$*".

If you try to set ARGS with ARGS="$@", procmail doesn't substitute for "$@"
and makes $ARGS null.  If you try ARGS="$*" you get the literal text '$*'.
