Greetings Citizen!

Here's a heads up to anyone running procmail v3.11pre4.

                FILES=| sed -n -e 's/^Subject:.*request \(.*\)/\1/p'

                | (cat; cat $FILES) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t

Not only that.. but is it as easy to run shell commands as it looks?  Or
will procmail escape metacharacters inside variables automagically?  (man
procmailrc says nothing about automatic escaping, but does say pipes are
passed to the shell for evaluation if they contain metacharacters... which
this one does.)

The fun of escape c0dez continue..
