Hello Timothy,
* ^Subject: *SPAM:
I want to cover any number of spaces before the word 'SPAM:' (should I
escape the : with a \?)
I usually use .* but I don't want *any* character, I just want any number of
_spaces_
Why don't you use the following (it also matches 'tabs'):
* ^Subject:[ ]*SPAM:
(Note that the items in between '[]' are a blank and a hard tab.
Greetings,
Humphrey.
