| Many thanks for showing me how to express "or" (by "|" with
| parentheses around the whole string of addresses). My recipe works now
| (well, with the deletion of the relevant "#" signs).
You're welcome, Kenneth.
| Now, is there a way to break my very long line of "|"-delimited
| addresses into multiple lines of screen width? A carriage return,
| unfortunately, results in the creation of long folder name in pine!
Use backslashes: if an unescaped backslash is the last character on a line
(be sure that there is no whitespace to the right of it), procmail will
ignore it, the newline, and any indentation on the next line. For example,
* ^From:.*(idiot|jerk|ass|nitwit|\
fool|creep|twit|whiner|\
nutjob|bastard|dipwad)@\
mcimail\.cs\.mcmaster\.ca
is equivalent to
* ^From:.*(idiot|jerk|ass|nitwit|fool|creep|twit|whiner|\
nutjob|bastard|dipwad)@mcimail\.cs\.mcmaster\.ca
or to stringing it all on one line, which my MUA won't let me illustrate.
