Of course, it would probably work I am sure. That is the beauty of regex
as there are several ways to write it and accomplish the same thing. I
can think of a few more ways too. The above has worked for me well over

begin with. as you know, UNIX/Linux is case sensitive. Check
www.procmail.org for many samples and tricks.

Today's thought: Before you criticize someone walk a mile in his shoes.
That way if he gets angry he'll be a mile away -- and barefoot.
