I've been looking at how Mutt uses these regexps, and it seems I may need
something more like:
<ignore this> <match this> <ignore this>

rather than the "match" part... like a "negative" match. Am I right on
this?

I think this would be more of what I need come to think of it. I want to
match everything between the re|aw and the tracking number. Can I just
match the middle part and ignore the re|aw and bracketed sections?

Well I'm no guru, :) but, the re|aw does match upper and lower case for
some reason. I got the whole beginning of my expression from the default
produced by the www-based muttrc generator and it seems to work as
advertised.
