i thank everybody to point the problem that the macro is ^TO or ^TO_
w/o a parenthesis in between.


There is also the ^TO, which predates ^TO_.  Usually, if your procmail
version is recent enough to understand ^TO_, you'll want to use it.  

thanks for the history lesson.


But ^TO is what parv needs here, because (this is the main difference 
between ^TO_ and ^TO) ^TO_ won't match on a string that ends in a

...

david, didn't you mean that ^TO_ won't match a string/address
_containing_ a hyphen instead?
