We all knew the problem when we must say to the reader that
the string include or not include the TAB because [ ] is not

My solusion is:
BLANK=`echo -e "\n\t "`
For the LOG newline problem:
NL=`echo -e "\n\0"`
(Note the NULL after the newline)
Now you can c-n-p with no worry
I consider that ill general advise.
The "[ ]" is the canonical way to express it.
Just add a remark if you expect an issue.
I never call an external process when not needed. I also run procmail in
secured environments, where it is not even possible to use a shell or
any other executables (than a few like formail).
