bad clams solved!

Thank you very much David.  This helped immensely.  And, of course, the
problem wasn't what I thought it was.

With the message I had exported from pine, I couldn't repeat the
"mismatch."  Eventually it dawned on me that the binary that came with the
original was not attached.  Saving the *complete* original message to a
unique pine folder and running the command line against that got me a hit!
A five-letter string included in the binary. "Matched: bkEru"

A REALLY good reason to include the escapes in the domain names (and ALL
of my recipes now are properly escaped)!

For me this has been a great learning experience and I really appreciate
the help I got.  I'm sure I've been a pain to some on the list - so I'll
fade into the background and lurk some more.  I'll probably resurface when
I'm ready to try the "scoring" bit! :)

Thank you all!

Procmail does not support having recipe code on the command line; it has to be
in a file.  So you create a new rcfile -- let's call it .frogrc and put it
into $HOME.  It should look something like this:

 LOGFILE=$HOME/.froglog
 DEFAULT=$HOME/tadpoles # for messages that are not full-fledged frogs
 VERBOSE=on

 :0:
 * ()\/(that\.long|list\.of|\
      do\.mains|you\.have)
 frogs

Then, back at the shell prompt,

 procmail .frogrc < message

and then you read $HOME/.froglog to see what text was assigned to MATCH.
