Some time around 9/7/2003 14:30:55, I think I heard Gerald

#PN-G Class of '83

.sysmatrix-net.0-gvl2.PN-G-83/

# NOTE: Only diff is following line:

Actually, there are two differences.  You correctly got
rid of the "*" after "com" (thank you).  It does no
good unless Gerald sometimes gets mail from
@yahoogroups.co or @yahoogroups.commmm in addition
to the instance with one "m".


Whoops.  Three differences.  The third is not so helpful.
Gerald probably wanted the trailing slash on the action
(save-to-directory) line quite on-purpose.  It would not
be good to delete the trailing slash.

From "man procmailrc":

                   If the mailbox name ends  in  "/",  then  this
       directory  is presumed to be a maildir folder; i.e., proc­
       mail will deliver the message to a file in a  subdirectory
       named  "tmp"  and  rename  it  to be inside a subdirectory
       named "new".
