Hi Thomas,

I am reading a book on RegExp with little luck as I'm afraid its a
little above my head but I'm trying with a very simple filter that is
not working. Perhaps you or someone else can tell me what's wrong.
I created a "test" filter & a "test" folder
The "test"filter was to send filtered files to the "test" folder under
filtered circumstances
The filter is for Incoming Mail (at the bottom of the list)
Under options tab, regular expressions was selected
Action = move to "test" folder
The test filter rule I constructed is:
string = ^[^JjAaNn] location = kludges present = no
The regexp was meant to express:
At the beginning of the string
If not J (or) j followed by A (or) a followed by N (or) n
is found in the kludges
then send to "test" folder
What's the matter with this simple regexp? TIA
