Deconstructing supremum

2003-01-10 10:42:29
 May I ask how the variable functions in checking the received line, or
speeds the process of checking?
* $ $OR ^Received:.*[[(]000\.000\.000\.$OCTET[])]
 { some spam variable or action set here }


As I parse this, it says
* begin a condition
$ end of line [why this is necessary - I'm not sure. I've looked for an
alternate function for $ but haven't found it]
$OR var defined above
^Received:.* Start of action to look in received line for X


Cool, I lok your "$OR".  I use $GO in a very similar way,
setting it to 9876543210; but then I write

* $GO^0 something
* $GO^0 another something

I like the word "GO," because it tells me that (with the supremum
oversaturated in the value assigned) I will jump right to the
action-line on any match.
