Idle curiosity:  Why do you put the .*\< in brackets?  Isn't that
totally a do-nothing thing, since brackets are only used in procmail
basically for presenting alternatives (like in the first quoted line)
and you're not presenting any alternatives.

the (.*\<) is superior to a straight .* for a number of reasons, all of which have been done to death on the list, so it might be best to check the archives on that. Or wait for someone more qualified to give the full details. Also, parentheses () are not brackets [].
