Martin McCarthy told Trevor Jenkins,
| When you're using '-a' you can give only one argument so it will always
| have the value 1.
At one point Stephen was talking about allowing multiple -a options on the
command line so that one could set $2, $3, and so forth without all the other
effects of -m. For example,
procmail -a one -a two -a three -a four < input
would set $1 to "one", $2 to "two", $3 to "three", $4 to "four", and $# to 4
inside the rcfile, at least until an assignment of SHIFT. But that has never
been implemented.
