No, still not matching. Basically, why doesn't this header:
From: "Famous Smoke Shop" <Announce@email.famous-smoke.com>
Match this procmail recipe:
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"
From my procmail log:
procmail: No match on "^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$"
Thanks,
