What does this quoted message have to do with the new thread? And at
the very least, it doesn't take much to trim the list footer so it
doesn't get quoted back to the list multiple times. Does it?
I don't know what a broken news server has to do with it, but request
for cc: granted - at the risk of being branded something not nice.
(Couldn't resist.) <g>
As for your question, I have always used:
* VALUE ?? GOOD
but you got me thinking and this also works:
* $VALUE ?? GOOD
My understanding and usage is the '$' condition modifier is used if the
right side needs expanding, for example I have the following condition
in a recipe of mine:
* $ XENVELOPETO ?? .*\/$DOMAINS
which requires the expansion of the $DOMAINS variable, hence the use of
the '$' modifier. This at least is the way I understand it.
