I ended up going with

What I do not understand is what my regex was asking for that
prevented it from working.
The '$' in a regexp means end-of-line. Only when you
add a dollar to the asterisk, the variables
are recognized and expanded first.
BTW, the [ ] is a procmail-list-shorthand for [<space><tab>].
(a characterset with just 2 spaces inside is a strange thing)
ugh!
Would it have been easier to just adopt the POSIX regex functions
that are so common?
I am new, so I don't have the history, but it seems strange.
