Aww! Actually, the stuff on ZenII has moved to ZenIV (don't ask what
happened to number III). Thanks for reminding me; I had better tell
the mutt people to update the link to

You're very welcome. The procmail and mutt rc files seem to have
struck a chord with people: I still get intermittent emails saying
people are taking them as a basis for their own.
It rather validates my initial feelings on first looking at the man
pages for both of them. "Oh my god, _how_ many man pages? What's a
regexp? How is it different from a pattern? Help, I only want to
sort my mail!" Clearly I was not the only one to feel that way :)
