I discovered this recently. The right (easiest) way to quote a ^ in mutt regexps is "^^", because mutt uses ^x for Control-x so it provides ^^ for a simple caret. ^I means control-I, a tab. I know you have a working veresion already, but you shouldn't! ;-) I thought "^ ^H" meant <control-space><backspace>. It works for me with just "^^blah". -- "Let's just sit here a moment and savor the impending terror." - Calvin Robert I.
