Thank you.  It's actually the other way around.  Easy way to check:

LOG="The PID before the cloning is $$.
"

 :0c
 {
  LOG="The PID inside the braces is $$.
"
  HOST
 }

LOG="The PID that didn't enter the braces is $$.
"

HOST

        Thank you two.  I have MANY braces for documentation reasons
        the procmailrc is more readable in braces style.  After I had
        run the above demonstration (bringing home?) I realized the
        problem (brought over) and start improve the recipes (bring
        into force).

Bye,
 Udi
