But then if the localized form contains any accents or other non-ASCII characters, it won't match. And perhaps (I don't know) there might even be localized messages with completely foreign scripts. I don't think you can do much better than .\+. Maybe you could at least disallow more than two '-' characters at the beginning and end and require SOMETHING between the -- characters: ^---\@!.*-\@!.--$ -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
