Hi John, sorry it took me so long to reply. When I first saw your reply
I was totally confused which sometimes isn't hard for me. So, I've been
reading up on procmail scoring and I 'think' I'm beginning to
understand what you did above but I'm going to have to do some more
reading on in before I totally understand what you did.
