I think you made a typo, James. Neither of those expressions would match
a three-character string (nor certain other lengths requiring a remainder of
three). But the idea, if typed perfectly, works.

No, it does not; last time Stephen had some time for procmail he mentioned
it as a possible future enhancement (however, because braces in regexps in
existing procmail rcfiles mean literal braces, the format would be \{m,n\}).
