Is this supposed to use the supreme value in the scoring?  In that case
shouldn't the scoring be:
* 9876543210^1  .  

In the tips I read..

SUPREME = 9876543210, is the highest score value that causes Procmail to
bail out. [david] Actually the maximum is 2147483647, but 9876543210 is
easier to remember/type and will function just as well. 

Upon reaching the supreme score, Procmail will skip all remaining weighted
conditions on the recipe, deeming them matched. Since all conditions on this
recipe are weighted, once Procmail finds one matched condition it will skip
the rest and execute the action.

| Any static pattern rule will rot.

| I recommend the following change:
| 
|   * 987654321^1 ^Content-(Type|Disposition):.*$.*name *= 
| *"?(your_details|application|document|screensaver|movie)[0-9]*\.zip"?
| 
|   * 987654321^1 ^Content-(Type|Disposition):.*name *= 
| *"?(your_details|application|document|screensaver|movie)[0-9]*\.zip"?
| 
| Note the addition of [0-9]*

| Thanks, Aaron!
