        Could someone please show me a way, hopefully within
procmail, to "cleanup" the text of a subject line, captured in a
variable called SUBJECT, such that I can write it out in a single
line record to my .txt file for later dbase manipulation? In my
case, truncation is preferrable to external program calls.

MYLOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
LOGFILE=$MYLOGFILE
* ^Subject:(.*\<)\/[^  ].*
{ SUBJECT=$MATCH }

:0
* ^To:(.*\<)\/[^  ].*
{ TO=$MATCH }

:0
* From:(.*\<)?\/[a-z0-9=+_-]+@
{ FROM=$MATCH }
LOGFILE=$HOME/.sub-to-from.csv
LOG=\"$SUBJECT\",\"$TO\",\"$FROM\"$NL
LOGFILE=$MYLOGFILE

should do
