suppose ;-)

 Colon (:) is the beginning of each rule, and zero (0) is a remnant
 of early days where the intent was to number the rules.  All rules
 today are actually numbered zero, and could be followed with other
 flags. I did not use any flags in order to keep the example simple.

 The condition (*) regex matches recipients that do not (!) begin (^)
 with a To: Cc: Bcc: Original-To: Original-Cc: Original-Bcc: Resent-To:
 Resent-Cc: Resent-Bcc: X-Envelope-To: Apparently-Resent-To: or
 Apparently-To: header, followed by an email address comment or not,
 up through the stated email address, and anything following it.  In
 procmail, .* at the end of a regular expression is redundant.  Since
 dots (.) are wildcard characters, they are escaped with a backslash.

 The action (!) forwards to the RFC822 email address, and the dot (.)
 is not a wildcard, so it is not escaped.

 Long answer short, you are correct.  I just wanted to key in on all
 the possible recipient headers that can be matched.  If this were to
 be used in a global /etc/procmailrc recipe, the "me" portion of the
 address used in the example would also have to be carefully expressed.

 PS. There should not be a blank line between the :0 and the condition
 line either.  I think that appeared because of the way mozilla wants
 to offer emoticons as a graphic display now.  Please do not mistake
