where ${ws} is folded whitespace, (the characters between the block
braces are a tab character, hex 09, followed by a space character, hex
20).

The '.' (period character,) should be escaped, otherwise in a regular
expression, it means any character.

The email addresses you receive the most messages from should be at
the top of the recipe, (as soon as a match is found, procmail stops
the recipe search, and goes directly to the action, i.e., store the
message in ${AUTHORS}.)
