      Indeed, use of variables to capture state and/or data and
then carry forward for later processing, including conditional
processing, is one of the hidden powers in procmail that are not
at all obvious to most new users.  Took me forever to figure it

New?  Awww... ya hurt mah feelins!

I've been using procmail since 1992 or 93 when it was in beta.

Heck, page 576 of my book (http://www.EverythingSysadmin.com) says, "If
you aren't using procmail, you're working too hard."

Hrrrump!!!

P.S.  Just kidding about having my feelings hurt.  It's a feature
that new and old alike are often unaware of.
