procmail recipe

greets!

I want to catch emails that have in the body of the message a line that
begins with 'from' and does not contain special character, for
instance doesn't contain '@' or '.' or ';'.

so "from hell" should be caught but not "devil@xxxxxxxx" (for instance).

what I've got (several experiments) is faulty; here's my latest attempt:

:0 B:
* ^from.*[^\.\@\-].*
| formail etc etc

so I'm trying to match on strings following 'from ' which don't have
special chars.

thought I'd ask for advice.

Felmon
