".procmailrc" & "sh"

"man procmailrc"; it's says:

"[...] The assignments and substitutions of [these] environment variables
are handled exactly like in sh(1) (that includes all possible quotes and
escapes) [...]."

I would like to have something ala:

LOGFILE= "$MAILDIR/log.`date +%y-%m-%d`"

within ".procmailrc", to get a LOGFILE that finishes like log.01-06-24
say.

It doesn't work. Question: what I a making wrong, not understanding, et
cetera. (And perhaps: any solutions?)

I have not been able to find any answers in the mans, FAQs, docs, and
google.com (please don't tell me RTFM tout court).

Cheers,
