(I originally sent this a couple of days ago, but I'd inadvertently
offlisted it to David. Since it irks me when someone asks for assistance
and doesn't acknowledge what is offered, I feel it is appropriate to ensure
this is posted to the list, lest someone think I'm not giving others the
same courtesy).
At 01:48 2002-10-25 -0500, David W. Tamkin did say:
No, it's no bug. Read the fluffy procmailrc(5) manual: \< and \> can match a
newline. If you want to be positive that the regexp doesn't cross a newline,
Doh! In my own extensive use of them for spam filtering, I'm matching
against a SUBJECT variable (which allows for easier scoring use for
exponents), so I haven't run into this. Where I ran into the problem was
in a ^Subject: condition, which is still working out of the live
headers. It sure seemed obscure - I was under the mistaken impression that
the regexp was limited to a single header line component (after all,
multiline headers are concatenated into one line).
Now I know better. Thanks David.
