I dispute your 'corrections' - from the procmailrc man page:


       b    Feed the body to the pipe, file or  mail  destination
	        (default).

	   f    Consider the pipe as a filter.

						  
The B - would indeed do something, but not what I want here, I want to
match the header, leave it alone, and pass just the body to my filter:


       H    Egrep the header (default).

	   B    Egrep the body.

The :0fbw example came right out of the linux-mag.com article, and I had
already RTFM'd.

aloha,
