Just tested it with mutt 0.95i (with rx) and mutt 0.95.4i (with regex)
regarding the subject line. Both use a rule, which worked in most of
the 19.3x GNU Emacses: If the regexp conatins no upper case letter,
it's treated as case-insensitive, but if it contains at least one
upper case letter it's treated as case-sensitive. This rule is quite
useful in most times, but surely not always, e.g. in your case it is
not.
(BTW: After testing this, I've done a little RTFM and found exactly
this rule in section 4.1 of the mutt manual: "The search is case
sensitive if the pattern contains at least one upper case letter, and
case insensitive otherwise." :-)
I suggest therefore the following: Use "X?funny" as regexp. There is
one upper case letter in and it matches all messages containing
"funny" and no others... It worked fine with my 2 versions of mutt.
