A message comes along (this is a cut-and-paste from Pine, btw):
Well, as soon as you cut and paste, we lose any certainty about the
original. My guess is that in cutting (probably more accurate: "copying")
and pasting, you are converting a tab to a space. Your recipe expects
one space. Any other whitespace combo won't match.
Also, you do want a lockfile, presuming "garbage" is an mbox-style
file. And you do not need to quote the @ sign or the space after
"User" in the penultimate condition.
Finally, I recommend you find the messages from this group last week
discussing why it's a bad idea to use the "H" flag at the top of a
recipe.
