Re: User functions in procmail?

Moe Drippins would like to have something in the direction of

Code reuse is possible already with INCLUDERCs, even though the syntax
isn't quite as handy as for such a function call. You can put your
"function" in a file of its own, like this:

--- file $PMDIR/save_and_archive.rc ---
:0
{
        :0 c:
        $SAVE

        :0 A:
        $ARCH
}
--- end ---

and then use it in your examples this way:

:0
* ^Subject: .*foo\/.*bar
{
        SAVE=$MATCH
        ARCH=arch.$DATE
        INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/save_and_archive.rc
}

:0
* ^TO_someguy(_at_)thisaddress(_dot_)com
{
        SAVE=$HOME/someguy.babblings
        ARCH=$HOME/archive/woot.txt
        INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/save_and_archive.rc
}
