I am using procmail to filter my incoming mail that is delivered via fetchmail.
Occasionally my mail is delivered into wrong mailbox. The following is part of
my log file:
procmail: Match on "^From.(aya*|altman*|arkady*|qa0002*)"
procmail: Match on "^Subject.*Weekly Report+"
procmail: Locking "weekly.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=weekly"
procmail: Opening "weekly"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: [3476] Tue Mar 17 09:16:43 1998
procmail: Unlocking "weekly.lock"
From aya Tue Mar 17 09:16:42 1998
Subject: New Packages on the HP-UX Software And Porting Archive (weekly
report
Folder: weekly
8102
Rule from the "~/.procmailrc":
:0:
* ^From.(aya*|altman*|arkady*|qa0002*)
* ^Subject.*Weekly Report+
weekly
And finally all the headers from the incoming mail:

Real programmers programs never work right the first time.
But if you throw them on the machine they can be patched
into working in only a few 30-hours debugging sessions.
