In David's message he said that you can match on $MATCH only in
more recent versions of procmail. Does anyone know the version
that this was introduced so I can add that info to my article?
Also, any input on what I've written -- e.g., its accuracy or
clarity -- are welcome! The doc is mirrored at these two URLs:
