Mmmm... sounds tasty.  You'll have to let us know how it turns out,
and also if it's good topped with ketchup. ;)

I suppose the recipe should work, but I'm not exactly a procmail
guru.  I usually just filter on To: and From: lines like this:

:0
* (^To|^Cc).*linux-user@egr.msu.edu
lists/lug

I send you this file to have your (uh oh, better not taunt Ben by

Two responses, couldn't decide which I liked better, so here they
both are:

1. That's good advice.  Why didn't we think of this *before* we
elected GW?

2. That's useless advice, you can put down anybody.  "Your mother
was a hamster and your father smelt of eldeberries," "Looks like
someone's been down here with the ugly stick," or if you prefer
short and to the point (Jerry Springer style), "You skanky b%tch!"
