I'm not sure what quoting methods you tried, and why they didn't work,
because the only two I can think of should've worked fine. The line
"SRCH_ = Ebay Auction" sets the variable "SRCH_" to "Ebay" and unsets
the variable "Auction". The probem may also have been a missing '$' on
the condition line to tell procmail to expand the SRCH_ variable, or a
missing action line (or brace pair), but then I don't know how it
would've matched Ebay. It's always best to look at and, if that doesn't
solve it for you, forward the relevant log entries with your question.
The formail |expand |sed pipeline is unnecessary. I also moved both the
SRCH_ and SUBJ assignments inside braces so you only set SRCH_ if
Undisclosed... matches, and only set SUBJ if SRCH_ matches. If you use
either or both of those variables in other succeeding recipes, then move
them back outside the first brace level as you had them.

Reply to list please, or append "6" to "procmail" in address if you must.
Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this...reluctantly.
