Theo, Strange as it may seem the spam that I'm trying to catch always comes in as To: Joe Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I understand all the other variations that you have accurately listed. While I know that mail could come in those ways this mail always comes in as I have listed above. The examples I gave where taken by exporting the message from pine to a text file and then copying it into the email. They are the real text I'm receiving.
Thanks. By the way someone had suggested trying single brackets [:alpha:] this simply does not. I'm now testing it with the \s+ for spaces to see if that makes any difference. It certainly words when I sent mail from pine I must see if it does from outside in spam world. Thanks. "Theo Van Dinter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
