Re[2]: RE checkbox in 'options'?

Check out the help file, it does deal with regular JA expressions fairly well. It has a nice summary of RE's, I agree. The confusion, for me, comes from mixing RE chrs with other concepts. For example, the [ ] and | chrs are RE chrs as well. Since these are used in 'signal strings', and so are RE's, I wondered if one had to check the RE box to actually get []| to work correctly. What do you do to use BOTH "special syntax", as seems to be required, AND RE, for example, since both use the same chrs?

Either you use special characters for MDP simple logic or you use regular expressions (which do everything the MDP specials do and *then* some) for more complex pattern matching. A reworded version of the above would be a nice addition to the help file :-). From the many helpful replies on this list, the concept behind TB is becoming clear to me. I assume that the and/or relationship between 'rules' and 'alternatives' also holds when using RE's - true? An interface thought... If the RE box is checked, the 'rules' and 'alternatives' tabs are replaced by a single RE tab. This might be more clear and avoid confusion between the two. Also would give a larger area for complex RE's to be seen and edited. Thought 2... Would it be possible to use an add-on to do part of the filtering? I now have a procmail script (not mine) that does a great job of 'scoring' spam by numeric techniques. It will spot spam, even when addressed directly to me, perhaps 80-90% of the time. If this could be included in TB it would be a killer add-on, IMHO. Would it possible to run perl, or VB, or ??, for example, "inside" TB?
