My problem is how to i do a match for ESC sequeces in the Subject:,
and body of email, Mainly the VT100 screen test sequence (it's the most
anoying)
Sorry I can't tell you *how* to filter out this junk, but *what* you
want to filter out is just the ESCAPE character (DEC 27, HEX 1B) which
will render the remaining characters (]something) into just a little
snippet of plain text garbage. It'll look like a little bit of line
noise.
This would probably be easier than trying to match all possible
escape sequence patterns. Digital also uses an eight-bit escape
sequence for VT200 and later terminals, but that should automatically
get quoted going through most mailers, and thus render impotent.
