What does 'LINEBUF' represent? is that the size in memory, lines, or is
that the size in characters? The procmailrc man page doesn't quite say
LINEBUF Length of the internal line buffers, cannot be
set smaller than 128. All lines read from the
rcfile should not exceed $LINEBUF characters
before and after expansion. If not specified,
it defaults to 2048. This limit, of course,
does not apply to the mail itself, which can
have arbitrary line lengths, or could be a
binary file for that matter.
The first line says 'Length' which makes me think lines in the rcfile,
the third line talks about characters, so now I'm thinking characters in
the rcfile, then I see 'defaults to 2048' which makes me start thinking
memory size. So now I'm not quite sure which one it is.
Someone enlighten me please. :)
