Of course; looks like I messed up when I went from /\bADV:/i (which I
personally think is a good enough improvement of the rule) to covering longer
versions of adv...
The more I look at it the more complex I find the problem to be, because when
moving beyond "adv" we're getting too close to real, "innocent", words without
common delimiters making them sure triggers. You'd prolly have to go with
something like this "/(?:^\s*|[[({])ADV(?:ert(?:i\w*?)?)?[]:})]/i"
> header ADVERT_CODE Subject =~ /\bADV(?:ert(?:i\w*?)?)?[]:]/i
^
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the questionmark in "\w*?"; unless
I'm missing something the greediness of "\w*" doesn't matter in this case???

Esp. considering how much time I spent on that rule, and still messed up at
the final step. =D
(Looking at the current flow of spam I'd say that anything beyond /\bADV:/i is
overkill today.)
