Procmail question/puzzle
The following procmail recipe was copied form a blog about how to set
up Debian/Exim/Procmail/Mutt to use Bogofilter. It is intended to do a
first cut at getting rid of junk that confuses Bogofilter, and appears
just before the recipe that pipes incoming mail through Bogofilter.
But I can't figure out how it works (or even if it does work). It may
just be garbled in copying somewhere along the trail from an original
good idea to a hadly formed helpful hint on the internet. (Procmail
does have its own special tweeks to reg. expressions.) In its original
form it had a particularly infelicitous name for the action file,
which I have changed, but otherwise what you see is GUI window cut and
paste form the internet. Does this make sense? Explain, please.

Also, this is a regexp. Regexp.s can be garbled in email because of
line folding. If the above is garbled on the list, I'll welcome
suggestions as to how to format it in a reposting.
TIA
