Non-Environment variables in procmail?? 1

[RottPaws]

Is it possible to set and use a variable in a procmail recipe?

What I'd like to do is search for an x-header and if it's there, then forward a copy of the email to the email address in that header.

Something like . . .

:0
* ^X-ForwardTo: (captuerThisAddress@sumware.com)
{
  :0 c
  ! FORWARDTO

  :0
  | /scripts/handler.pl
}

This is untested:

:0
* ^X-ForwardTo: \/[^ ]+
{
:0 c
! $MATCH

:0
| /scripts/handler.pl
}

From 'man procmailrc':
MATCH This variable is assigned to by procmail whenever it is
told to extract text from a matching regular expression.
It will contain all text matching the regular expression
past the `\/' token.
and
\/ Splits the expression in two parts. Everything matching the
right part will be assigned to the MATCH environment variable.

That worked like a charm. I searched for variable, string, scalar, and everything else I could think of, but MATCH never occurred to me.

Thanks!
