You're English seems pretty good to me -- better than any of the
non-native languages I can't speak (unless pig latin counts). ;-)
The dot "." has special meaning in regular expressions. It matches any
character. So if you want to match a dot literally it needs to be
backslash escaped like: "* .*filename=.*\.exe". In the examples you
gave, where the string "exe" appears at the beginning of the filename,
I'm not sure what the dot was matching unless there was a space between
the = and the filename or the filename was wrapped in quotes. But I'm
guessing it's either one of those cases, or you gave theoretical
examples and not actual ones.
Lastly, you should have found all of the deliveries going to ~/exes and
none of them going to ~/EXES, given the recipes you posted. Procmail
recipes are case insensitive by default, so anything that would match
the second recipe would have already matched and been delivered by the
first. If you definitely want two different recipes for "exe" and "EXE",
you need to add a "D" flag to each one like: ":0 BD".
