     I'm trying to do something that *should* be very simple:

    For all email that follows certain procmail rules, I want to send a reply to the address it
    came from. However, I want to do this through procmail because the various perl scripts that
    are written to do this involve libraries that aren't installed on my machine and after
    spending an hour trying to get them all in the right places, I gave up.

    Basically, I want to do something like this:

    :0w
    * ^(To|Cc|Received):.+username
    {
    FROMLINE = ^From
    | mail $FROMLINE < ${HOME}/reply.txt
    }

    But of course that FROMLINE = ^From isn't correct.

    How do I pick out the sender's email address using procmail?
