Could you explain why you don't provide a VERBATIM example of the From:
header on the message it is failing to match?

The VERBOSE=ON logging can be elightening if you actually examine your
regexp to the text it fails to match.

      In this case the log will show you the:

procmail: No match on ...

Exactly, the verbose didn't produce any output which helped. I did this.

The From: header is as follows:
From: "Webster Bulletin" <adams(_at_)webster(_dot_)ac(_dot_)at>

The output in the log-file is:

Filter for Webster
procmail: No match on "^From: adams(_at_)webster\(_dot_)ac(_dot_)\at"
procmail: Assigning "LOG=No match on Webster
"

It now works with .* prepended, and I'm just curious why?

Here some more info:
# maildirectory
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
# logger
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmaillog
EOL="
"
VERBOSE=on
