It's correct syntax, but it doesn't do exactly what you want. Try
this instead:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*\[gamedancers]
/home/ian/mail/gamedancers
This still won't work. The problem with this condition is
that the whole subject line is eaten up by .*. Your other
suggestion ( [ tab space ] * ) is more appropriate.
I am not sure whether the second colon at recipe start is required.
The original action line is
/home/ian/mail/gamedancers/
Doesn't the trailing slash imply maildir delivery?
