No, but I did play around with using extended regexp for a while (with rule "REG_TYPE=basic" still set). I can't reproduce the bug now.

(Having several xterms open, I must have failed to save my corrections to file before running mailfilter.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
