Oops. I just realized having it there is silly anyway, since I
only want to catch mails that start with "kimmo@" and nothing
else in this particular recipe.

Actually, I was just being lazy, now that I think about it; this
is hardly the rocket-science-level of making procmail recipes.
However, the above did clarify that what I want is (To|Cc):, not
plain ^TO so the time wasn't completely wasted.

I've always loathed and detested man pages, but guess there's no avoiding
it in this case. ;)
