Also, I don't think using all-UPPERCASE characters for a variable name
is a good idea since there is no way to distinguish such variables from
procmail's built-in ones. If a custom variable always begins with
a lowercase character, then we are prepared when an updated procmail
version introduces a new variable which then could theoretically match
exactly (should there ever be a new procmail version).
That's a good point Robert. Does anyone know if there are any
conventions for naming user-defined procmail variables? Or for
user-defined variables in the Unix world in general? I'd like to
discuss this in this section of my Procmail Quick Start:
Use Consistent Naming and Formatting Styles
