I debated with myself about leaving them long or breaking them.  The
team that thought the raw form would be clearer won out; next time I'll
break them. :)

No idea why you don't combine those two

Just the fact that debug code sort of evolves on the fly, and keeping
it broken into smaller chunks sometimes makes it easier to add or
subtract things.  There's certainly no issue of efficiency. 

The first one includes a semicolon, which is in $SHELLMETAS.  The
second has no characters from $SHELLMETAS.  That means that
procmail will invoke a shell to run the first one but will run the
second one itself. 

Ah HA!!!  Now I know how to revert to my preferred ${basename##*/};

Thanks for clearing up two questions in one easy answer!
