You obviously didn't test it with procmail before making that claim.
No, I didn't. Because the `procmailrc' says:{{{
Conditions start with a leading `*', everything after that
character is passed on to the internal egrep literally,
except for leading and trailing whitespace. These regular
expressions are completely compatible to the normal egrep(1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
extended regular expressions. See also Extended regular
expressions.
}}}
(1) procmail's egrep doesn't know {n,m} repetitions.
Do you know where can I read more about this and the likes?
Thanks,
Hossein
