Actually, vim has non-capturing grouping and look-ahead/behind. And with the various magic escapes, you can have it compatible with vi, or you can have it feel rather natural. I'll definitely agree it's not broken, and would say it's more powerful than a lot of other flavours of regex. Plus it has the features an editor needs (matching columns, matching as much of, etc.). I'm not sure mutt needs such features, mind you. The only extension I've needed to mutt's matching facilities was an extension to the patterns (matching a folder). I find the regexs fine. cheers, -- Iain 'Spoon' Truskett. <http://eh.org/~koschei/>
