No change. This is a nighmare right now, because most of my NN procmail
setups are broken and I receive tons of email per day... (It's not
procmail's fault, I know, only if I could understand what's going on here
....)

    e = `which echo`
    m = $MATCH
    m = $SHELLMETAS

    SHELL = /bin/sh
    MATCH

    dummy = `echo 12`
    dummy = `echo 12 ; true`
    dummy = `echo 12 & `
    dummy = `echo 12 > /tmp/junk `

    procmail: Assigning "SHELL=/bin/sh"
    procmail: Assigning "MATCH"

    procmail: Executing "echo,12"

    procmail: Assigning "dummy=12"
    procmail: Executing "echo 12 ; true"
    MATCH: is not an identifier

    procmail: Assigning "dummy="
    procmail: Executing "echo 12 & "
    MATCH: is not an identifier

    procmail: Assigning "dummy="
    procmail: Executing "echo 12 > /tmp/junk "
