Re: ":matches" issue

2005-07-28 08:59:12

How should the following test be evaluated when matched against a
From:user4(_at_)localdomain header ?

if header :matches "from"  "us?"

This test should fail.

":matches" should behave like ":is" or like ":contains" ?

:is. You can always add leading and trailing *'s if you want it to work like
:contains. There's even an example showing this in RFC 3028. (Removing implicit
leading and trailing *'s would be a lot harder, which is why it needs to work
this way...)
