Sorry, I replied to a message and didn't realize it came from the 
announce list. So I hope this is the appropriate place to ask...

I am trying to understand the rules in local-rules.procmail. Why is there 
a weight associated with the Content- line? Also, the promailsc man page 
says the highes weight number supported is 2147483647 but 9876543210 is 
way larger. 

Oh, the rule is working just fine for me the way it is. I am just curious 
to understand why and how it works.

Thanks,
Adi
