Re: MATCH question

Dallman, thanks for this explanation.  This has to do with the
"specialness" of MATCH in procmail; ie, MATCH is not an "ordinary"
variable?

Notice that there is no $ expansor at the beginning of the condition line.
Note, also, that one can leave out whitespace in recipes where doing so

though it's only a guess, that

      * $MATCH

is identical to

      * $ MATCH

and that the $, while unnecessary, wouldn't stop the condition
from working absent funny quoting issues.

We can do an experiment:
