Rejo Zenger asked,

Is there an easy way to match on multiple lines, regardless where 
in the regexp the new line starts?

Rik Kabel had one: use  (\<)+  instead of a space.  (\>)+  works as
well.

They are also very welcome as email-address-delimiters, like in

* From:.*\.kr\>

From man procmailrc, bout \< and \>: They are merely a shorthand for 
`[^a-zA-Z0-9_]',  but can also match  newlines.

Also from man procmailrc: ^ or $    Match a newline (for multiline 
matches).

Beware: the name-part of an email-address could contain an `&' 
and a `+'.
