Colon (:) is the beginning of each rule, and zero (0) is a remnant
of early days where the intent was to number the rules. All rules
today are actually numbered zero, and could be followed with other
flags. I did not use any flags in order to keep the example simple.
The condition (*) regex matches recipients that do not (!) begin (^)
with a To: Cc: Bcc: Original-To: Original-Cc: Original-Bcc: Resent-To:
Resent-Cc: Resent-Bcc: X-Envelope-To: Apparently-Resent-To: or
Apparently-To: header, followed by an email address comment or not,
up through the stated email address, and anything following it. In
procmail, .* at the end of a regular expression is redundant. Since
dots (.) are wildcard characters, they are escaped with a backslash.
The action (!) forwards to the RFC822 email address, and the dot (.)
is not a wildcard, so it is not escaped.
Long answer short, you are correct. I just wanted to key in on all
the possible recipient headers that can be matched. If this were to
be used in a global /etc/procmailrc recipe, the "me" portion of the
address used in the example would also have to be carefully expressed.

PS. There should not be a blank line between the :0 and the condition
line either. I think that appeared because of the way mozilla wants
to offer emoticons as a graphic display now. Please do not mistake
