Yes. Easily confirmed by trying it. The verbose log will show you how

I see the man page commentary about the whitespace, but are you *sure*
about where that condition is being split?
Is there a defined "order of operations" for procmail conditions? It
would seem to me that "()\/one|two|three" might save "one" to MATCH, but
not "two" or "three", but "()\/(one|two|three)" would populate MATCH for
all three. Is the \/ parsed before the |? Does it matter?
It's partially implied by:
\ To quote any of the above at the start of the line.
Perhaps it's made clearer in some of the FAQs. I certainly read it
somewhere.
Perhaps you're reading a different version of the man page. :) That
line above refers to "the above" characters, which include [!$?<>], with
no mention of the MATCH marker.
I think mention of the need to escape the match marker at the beginning
of the condition should be mentioned where \/ is described on the man
page right above EXAMPLES. Something as simple as "If this token is at
the beginning of a condition, it must be prepended with a backslash."
Philip? :)
Hope that helps,
Thanks again.
