I've busted my brain.
The file test.sed contains this:
/^ *DO YOU YAHOO!?/q
The file test2.sed contains this:
$d
.procmailrc contains this:
:0
* From:.*yahoo
| sed -f test.sed | sed -f test2.sed > output
which does indeed work as designed--output contains a message from
yahoo.com with the closing advertisement removed.
But if .procmailrc contains this:
:0
* From:.*yahoo
| sed -f test.sed | sed -f test2.sed
then the mail simply disappears forever. Log sez:
procmail: Assigning "SHELL=/bin/bash"
procmail: Match on "From:.*yahoo"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER= sed -f test.sed | sed -f test2.sed"

procmail: Notified comsat: "webmaster@: sed -f test.sed | sed -f test2.sed"
procmail: Executing " sed -f test.sed | sed -f test2.sed"
And that's it. The mail dropped off the face of the Earth. Any help
appreciated.
