I need to pass a variable from within a bash script to procmail, but
can't seem to get it to work.  The variable value is always null.

  procmail example.procmailrc < $MESSAGE_NO
  mv $MESSAGE_NO.new $MESSAGE_NO


   procmail -m example.procmailrc < $MESSAGE_NO > $MESSAGE_NO.new

and use a "DEFAULT=|" in the first lines of your rc, to make procmail
deliver to stdout.


Alternatively, see man procmail, look for "parameter=value".
