not sure context is right
I am using a spam filter which has drop downs which let you choose what part of the e-mail you want to examine and then either 'matches' or 'contains' and then a 'pattern'. In the 'pattern' you can use regular expressions so I don't have to key in grep or any file names. The way this seems to work is that if I put in the pattern say

abc

and tell it to reject all e-mails where the subject line contains this pattern, it will reject any subject line with a or b or c in it.

I am guessing (and i won't be able to try it out till monday) that if i put in

"abc"

it will reject e-mails with abc all together in the subject line... sorry this is probably not what this forum is all about but you are the only place i have found where it seems i can get some real help. Looking forward to trying it all out on Monday and will let you know how it goes.
