Re: bad match?

Hmmmm.  I may have figured out *what* happened; but I don't understand
why.

Messing with grep and the list, I inadvertently entered:

"grep -i bk*ru message" (instead of bk.ru) and got a hit on the line with
"brutal" in it.  According to the grep man pages:

"       *      The preceding item will be matched zero or more times."

thus bk*ru *would* have matched "brutal;" but "bk.ru" should *not* have.
Unless procmail treats "." as "*" ???????
