Procmail recipe: extracting matched text

Hey,

now that we're talking about regexps, I am having some troubles finding
documentation which covers the text matching in procmail.

Specifically, I have a rule like:

:0:
* List-Id.*<([^.]*).*>
$1

Which should match any mailman mailling list, and then put the mail into a
folder named after the first portion of the list id.

However, $1 is clearly not the right way of getting to the text wrapped in
()'s.

Can I please have a hint what is?

Thanks,
Mikal
