    Beware there are special characters here and there: Some may not
survive a copy/paste operation.

    The CVS recent $config_charset feature is really nice for this
regexp to work on various terminals: I store muttrc as here in Latin-1,
beginning with "set config_charset=iso-8859-1", and the regexp is
automatically converted to whatever current charset is. Big thanks to
Joël Riou for the excellent feature patch.

    Note the regexp includes some forwarding prefixes. This may, or may
not, be desired. So if you dislike it, just remove the 3 forlast lines
(Fwd/Tr/Trans), and remove pipe from the preceding line.

    Better not: Procmail's "repairs" change original mailbox, and this
can be dangerous.


Bye!    Alain.
