The 'c' on the first recipe means 'continue processing this
message even if it is delivered by this recipe'
That explanation has been obsolete for about ten years.
When Stephen van den Berg added the use of `c' on a recipe that launces
a braced nesting block to fork a clone procmail, I objected that it
should have a different flag, such as `C', because people were always
putting `c' on recipes that open braces because they thought it was
necessary to make procmail continue into the braced area. Until then,
it had been a harmless error for an extraneous flag.
Roman Czyborra came up with the idea of changing the meaning of `c' from
"continue" to "copy": read `c' as "send a _c_opy to the action" and then
it would cover both simple recipes with `c' flags and cloning blocks.
So please, `c' is for _c_opy.
