For security reasons, no periods are allowed anywhere in a tag. The first line in .ezmlmrc is unique. The .ezmlmrc file is processed top down. Text preceding the first tag is ignored. Subsequently, one and only one file is open for writing.
Text following conditional tags is copied only if the condition is met.
A file is automatically closed when a new file is opened. Opening a file overwrites any preexisting file with that name. Any number of flags can be specified. This is used to adapt the files and messages to the type of list created. If the file name is the same as the previous tag, or if it is omitted, the text will be added to the previous file.
