Philip,
Really, thanks a million for your clarifications! i am saving
that last e-mail away!
On a related note, since "The regexp engine has to keep track
of all of those possibilities", will one day exist a possibility to
backtrack and find the *next* match, in the case that the first one
does not succeed completely. Can you add this to the "Wish List"?
This may be too much for procmail. Maybe I should look at something
else. Any suggestions?
Thanks again,
--Ralph
