The actual recipient's email address may not be available. For

scanning the message headers, and procmail doesn't have access to the
envelope headers (at least, not very easily).

I'll see what I can do to improve it.

  In 1998 more than three times as many people in the US were killed

  President of the A.M.A. is adopting "gun safety" as his platform.
