John, I'm just a lurker here, and I don't even use mutt, and I don't even run Linux except in a virtual machine of very limited function, but I think I may be able to help you. It appears to me that this 'score' you write about uses regular expressions in string search matching. If it was Java, I'd use: From: "\S+\s+\S+\s+[^@]+@hotmail\.com \[[^\]]+\]" <[^@]+@yahoogroups\.com> Kindly forgive me if this is totally off the wall. - Mark.
