According to the manual a "\" at the end of a line is a continuation line.

However it doesn't work in the case of patterns. A "\" continuing a pattern causes a syntax error.

if ('/^(From:| Reply-to:).*(addy1|addy2|\ addy3|\ addy4|\

etcetera doesn't work.

This is bad news, since I'm unable to translate a very comprehensive spam filter from procmail. Without \ working it's too clumsy to function.

Does anybody have an answer?
