| 'man procmailrc' shows this:
|
|        h    Feed the header to the pipe (default).
|
|        b    Feed the body to the pipe (default).

The man page presents it rather awkwardly.  I'd have put it more like this if it
were up to me:

  h               Save, pipe, or filter the head.
  b               Save, pipe, or filter the body.
  hb (or bh)      Save, pipe, or filter the entire message (default).

Another way to look at it is this: `h' suppresses writing the body and `b'
suppresses writing the head.  If you use both, they cancel each other out and
the entire message is written.

| Am I right that my 'fhw' is 'cheaper' here than his 'fw'?

Whenever you get the same results by filtering only the head, yes.
