I can be sure that my username is not a real word, nor is it my real name. Pity the soul who is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and his name is Jack. Pity the woman who is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and her name is Winter, er, Summer. As final feedback, then, I'll just say that I modified the USERNAME_IN_SUBJECT eval to remove the ",\E" some such noise (2.61 code) and it works greeeeeaaat! I gave it a relatively lowish score of 2.0 as most of the highest scoring ham is 2.0. The code in that eval is exacatly what I needed to get this rule running. I recommend that usernames not be a person's real name and that they not be valid words (or subwords :) for these rules to be useful. At some point, the rule might be a production rule with a default score of 0, say. If your site can use the rule, bump up the score. Or do it on a per-user basis. Sounds good to me.
