Douglas Otto asked,
| I am having trouble coming up with an expression that will match any

| occurrences of a character as in !!!! or #### or ^^^^, you get the idea,
| without having to match them individually. Any ideas?
Four or more consecutive exclamation points: !!!!+
[if they're at the beginning of the regexp, precede the first one with ()]
Four or more octothorpes: ####+
Four or more carets: \^\^\^\^+ [same warning as for the exclamation points]
If you were hoping for something like \^{4,}, procmail does not implement
that. It might some day (with backslashes left of the braces).
