I don't know how you do the "any character" in filters? I'm using Outlook
Express.


Does OE support regular expressions?

In this case, MT-NewsWatcher defines "." as "any single character", and
".*" means "one or more characters", and "^" means beginning of the line
of text, in this case the subject line, for example:

Kill if subject matches the regular expression "^M.I.5"

If I were to use ".*" instead of ".", come to think of it, the filter
would also kill anything with MiG-15 or MiG 15 at the beginning of the
subject line. It works now as is, so I'll worry about the loon if he
gets more fanciful later on.
