Well, I did all of your suggestions [including the ones i snipped], and 
they all 'passed', except that the MATCH you showed above didn't get 
triggered. That really confused me. 

Then I finally figured out why and am very ashamed to see how simple this 
was. :( *All* of the mailing lists I am on get captured via ^TO. But this 
VersionTracker list isn't one of them. The VersionTracker e.mails are 
addressed To: vjl(_at_)cullasaja! So it did not belong in my rc.mailinglists 
recipe, as that recipe is called *after* I filter on e.mails that are 
^TOvjl(_at_)cullasaja(_dot_) 

So basically, an earlier recipe in my .procmailrc was being triggered 
before the INCLUDERC that called my mailinglist rc file. Yes, I feel 
*extremely* stupid right now. I am so sorry to waste everyone's time. Had 
I posted my entire .procmailrc and the included rc files, that would have 
clued y'all in to my problem, but I felt posting all of that was overkill 
[and it probably was, but i still feel very stupid].

And, Dallman, I did, in fact, notice your use of the comma. You, still, 
are the, undisputed, King of the Commas. :-)

Thanks again, everyone..
