Im not sure how I should go about writing the regexp for this, so some
of your examples or suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance.
I guess that it would be something like:
V<!--.*-->i<!--.*-->a<!--.*-->g<!--.*-->r<!--.*-->a
".*" will eat the whole string. Use [^-]*

but IIRC there's something odd about the way procmail interprets <>
signs, you need to enclose them in [] brackets to stop procmail
interpreting them as special characters. Do you need to escape the ! as
well?
