This is counter intuitive though. I know what it says and all that, but it easily leads you to assume that the "uncomment this line" part refers to the line just before it.
It says pretty clearly to uncomment THIS line, not the line before it.
C programs often use the same text, but it means exactly the opposite thing:
/* HAVE_BLURFL: uncomment this line if your system has the blurfl() system call. */ /* #define HAVE_BLURFL */
The idiosyncratic syntax of procmail scripts makes the "uncomment this line" text more ambiguous than it might otherwise be. Sorry, Charlie. It sucks.
