There are two reasons why this doesn't work:
1. [ and ] have a special meaning inside regular expression (see in
the Help under Regular Expressions Syntax (Basic)). You have to
write \[ and \]
2. [Palm] is not followed by a colon, therefore you can't put in
together with Aw: and Re:
Here's the solution
%subject=""%subject="Re:
%SETPATTREGEXP=""(?i)(((Re|Aw|Antwort):|\[Palm\])\s*)*(.*)""%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=""%OSUBJ""%SUBPATT=""4"""
Note two things:
- "((Re|Aw|Antwort):|\[Palm\])" instead of "(Re|Aw|Antwort):",
having one more level of parentheses
- %SUBPATT=""4"" instead of %SUBPATT=""3"" because of the additional
parentheses
You could expand this for more maillists if you replace \[Palm\]
with \[(Palm|Pilot|whatever)\] and incrementing SUBPATT to 5...
