+Hello,\r
+\r
+ I have looked over that usage pattern over the procmail doc and\r
+mailing lists for some time now, and it seems no one ever asked the\r
+question:\r
+\r
+ Would it be possible to reuse a part of the match regexp in procmail\r
+so it can be reused in the action part of the rule. Something like the\r
+following:\r
+\r
+--------8<----------------8<----------------8<---------------8<--------\r
+:0:notmuch.lock\r
+* .*foo\+\(\w+\)@mydomain\.tld.*\r
+{ \r
+ TAGS="${TAGS} $1"\r
+}\r
+-------->8---------------->8---------------->8--------------->8--------\r
+\r
+ where "$1" would be the group match (like `\1` in sed). I used \r
+to do it easily when I was using sup, and I really miss it now that I\r
+have switched to notmuch.\r
+\r
+ Maybe I shall use another mail matching program like formail, or \r
+shall I write a patch for it, but I'd like first to ask here if someone \r
+had the same issue, and found a solution.\r
+\r
