I never claimed it did.
Somebody did, and the poor OP here is getting bad advice, paramount
being the syntax of a regexp. Tracking down things which have no
relationship to their problem won't help them.
OP:
Consider setting up a sandbox (see my .sig for a downloadable one),
then throw a saved copy of your message at it (or the whole inbox):
formail -s procmail -m sandbox.rc < mailbox.mbx
You can then evaluate the verbose sandbox.log to see what it has to
say. Note that the standard procmail delivery summary will show the
envelope from (not the From:) and the Subject of the message, but
there is header extraction of some things (including Subject and
From:) to variables, and the log will show you just what is really
beeing seen on the message.
I really suspect you're seeing sub-messages within a digest, so it's
the DIGEST WRAPPER you need to write a recipe for. This is quite
possibly why the message has lowercase 'header' fields (though most
digests I've ever seen don't - but then I don't subscribe to lists in
digest mode - perhaps these are webforum-to-email generated messages?).
