Would you like to know what it's useful for, or just what he means?
Actually, both. I understand from below how what he said works. Thank you.
Now I would like to know what it is useful for.
When the procmailrc is exited, if it is the last/only one on the command
line, what happens to the mail?
The following isn't directly useful, but might perhaps work as an
explanation:
$ cat >rc1
LOG="Now in rc1
"
HOST
I was wondering why my entries in the logfile caused by LOG= always had
the next line concatenated to them. Thank you again. To get the newline
into a procmailrc via vi, do I use <ctrl/V> <ctrl/M> or another/better
way?
Hope this helps,
Very much. Thank you.
