[I read a little about it.]  Curiously enough, this means that
Procmail can implement the rule I suggested and MajorDomo can't
(without touching the Perl).  Or at least I don't understand how
one could emulate a GO-pattern by a STOP-pattern.  Only being
able to define taboo patterns is IMHO much less capable than a
slalom of STOP and GO conditions.  Sigh.
