OK then:
:0B
* H ?? some condition
* ? yourscript
someaction
The point is to avoid the unnecessary nesting of braces, which just bulks up
the rcfile and makes procmail take longer to read it and do more work to
keep track of the nesting level. I see entirely too much of things like
this:
:0 # no conditions and no clone
{
actual code goes here
}
or
:0
* conditions
{
:0 # no conditions
someaction
}
What you had there, Bart, was not fully as bad as those, but it was off in
their direction.
