What kind of help and assistance is that?

        I'll explain the answer that I sent you:

1) :0 fhw
2) * ^TOprocmail
3) | sed 's/^Subject: /& [procmail]/'


        1)  :0         start recipe (rule)
              f        We are going to change the the message
               h       The part we are going to change is the header
                w      Take the consequences (wait, is every thing done? OK?)

        2)  *          If you find the follow string then do the changes
             ^TO       The string we are looking for is one of the addressed
              procmail The string we are looking for

        3) |           Use the following command to change the header
            sed ....   Change the string "Subject" to be "Subject [procmail]"



      Enough of that though, I will be getting into reading over the man
pages, *rc files and other pieces of Procmail soon, hopefully it will all
begin to make some sense.



        I suggest you to scan and browse the man pages NOT read (and skip the
        procmailsc man page).  Read the egrep man page then go to NMTG web
        site: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/       After this
        steps back to the procmailex man page.  After some experiments and FAQ
        reading you can read the man pages (including the procmailsc (:-))

        Since then we have used procmail to run antivirus on the unix mail
        server we saved a lot of money/time and the users breathe a sigh of
        relief.

Bye,
 Udi
