At the left of the \/ there is minimal matching, so the ".*" will always
exactly match 0 characters, so it has no use there.

Since you want the "<" in the MATCH, and Tad used a "^" anchor, I think
that you meant:

 * ^<\/[^>]+>:
 * MATCH ?? ^^\/[^>]+


        Actually if you omit the ">:" at the end of the first line
        you will not need the second line:

procmail: Assigning "MATCH="
procmail: Matched "anyaddress(_at_)anydomain(_dot_)com"
procmail: Match on "^<\/[^>]+"




which is still far less accurate than what Dallman suggested.

        Right.  we talk about specifically case where we know how the
        input looks like.
