I have difficulties to understand this description in the 'procmailsc' man
page (please correct me if it's my English problem ;-):
.......... check if the ratio of quoted lines to original lines is
at most 1:2. If it exceeds that, ditch the mail. Everything that
survived the previous test, is filed.

First of all, does the example appear to have a "quoted lines to original
lines" ratio of 2:1? Secondly, It appears to me is that the example
represents is not a pure "ratio" in generic sense but its "20 lines
quoted" vs "10 lines new text" may be interpreted as a "ratio" -- what
outcome should I expect if "12 lines quoted" and "6 lines new text" is
piped through the recipe? (or 6 lines quoted vs 12 lines new assuming
"1:2" is the case).
I'd imagine the calculated "new text lines" divided by "quoted lines" as
a test parameter, say 'r', and a test of "r>0.5" or "r<0.5" may be called
a ratio test, agreed?
