That doesn't do what you think it does.

  Why?
  The pipe command? or all the message?


With the \, you fixate the $, so it is equivalent to:

 | formail -i 'X-Keywords: $KW'

(notice the single quotes)

But '$' is not in the default SHELLMETAS, so $KW is never expanded.

Without the '\' it should work, because you let procmail expand $KW.

 | formail -i "X-Keywords: $KW"


Maybe you meant "$\KW"?

        I wander too.  Just cut n paste from Nancy's recipe
        and I assumed like you - same typo, but, I was afraid
        that maybe I missed something.  So, thanks for the note.
        I guess she will take care because she read this mailinglist.

Bye,
