I don't like the definition of string, especially with respect to

be quoted, either with an appropriate number of backslashes or with
quote marks. Failure to do so may create multiple strings and undesired
consequences.
Can you point me to some info about this? I looked in the procmailrc
man page but didn't see anything.
I also don't like one of your examples of words (more specifically,
non-words). Why isn't "Subject" a word by your definition. It is bounded
on the left by a <BOL> or non-word character, and on the right by a
colon, which is a non-word character by your definition.
Oops - thank you for catching this. I meant to say that "Subject:" is
not a word. I've now fixed this part.
Thanks for catching my mistakes!
