Seth, Eduardo;
Thanks.
Seth,
As I read your post -- slap went my hand to my forehead. I knew that!
That was the subconsciouses reason I asked I'm sure. :-)
Eduardo,
You're right. What I'm doing, currently, isn't all that complicated.
In fact mail sieve will make it easier, simpler, and cleaner to do. I
only once really got into doing anything complex using procmail and I'm
not using it now.
Again thanks to you both,
Rod

Well, both accomplish different things. In the first example, one and
only one of the conditions will be executed. In the second one, more
than one could possibly be executed.
I've never looked at Sieve's code, but the first will stop at the first
matching condition. In the second case, because you could make it do
more than one thing, it must check each condition.
If in each if you put a "finish" statement (or whatever is used to stop
processing the file), then the second one can be more efficient, since
it does not have to continue checking the file to see if there are
further conditions after the if/elseif/.../else block.
But in practice I doubt there is a practical difference between both.
You should use the one that is more readable for you.
