How come, when I perform command #1, I get only the From: header,
but when I use syntax #2 in my procmailrc script, the variable
contains
the From (w/o colon) header?
No one knows why I'm getting different results using -formail- from
the command-line versus my procmail recipe?
I expect it's a difference in how procmail hands off the unfolded
headers, but I am surprised. I would expect formail to always return
the header contents without the label (From: in this case)
I mean, the x flag specifically says to extract the CONTENTS of the
header. If you want the header WITH the label, you need to pass a -X
(note case).
Are you sure the command line version wasn't using -X instead of -x?
