I am delving deeper into procmailrc. Very nice once you get over the shock.
The man page says that the recipe regular expression are fed to the
internal egrep literally. I am having trouble feeding options to egrep:
* SPAM
works and finds all spam in the body of an email, but:
* -w SPAM 
doesn't find anything.

Any insight appreciated,
Joel
