No, still not matching.  Basically, why doesn't this header:

From: "Famous Smoke Shop" <Announce at email.famous-smoke.com>

Match this procmail recipe:

:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"

 From my procmail log:

procmail: No match on "^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$"

Thanks,
