forward emails with specific subject line
Is there a way to forward email from user1@mydomain.com to user2@mydomain.com only when the subject line is "this subject"?

I figure it would be done with .forward somehow if it is possible.

I'm using Red Hat 9 and sendmail.

Quick answer: Yes!

See Filtering FAQ for more assistance as doing it will require some reading/understanding.

I see how it would help me forward emails with certain subjects to a folder, but how would I actually forward those emails on to another email address?

See the man page for forward or aliases - look for the section on Automatic Forwarding - it's all about forwarding a copy to another email address - you just need to incorporate the two functions - filters and forwarding.

I got it working now. man pages for procmailrc helped me with the last step.

Thanks!
